Newsmax White House Reporter Permanently Banned From Twitter

Twitter needs to ban Gosar




Newsmax White House correspondent Emerald Robinson was permanently banned from Twitter on Tuesday for repeatedly violating its rules on COVID-19 misinformation.

Robinson returned to the social media platform just hours earlier after a seven-day suspension for claiming that the COVID-19 vaccine contained some kind of satanic bioluminescent marker that allowed people to be tracked.

After her account was reinstated Tuesday, she received her fifth violation and was suspended permanently, a Twitter spokesperson told The Hill. She had more than 440,000 followers.




Newsmax, a right-wing network known for promoting conspiracy theories and lies about Donald Trump’s election defeat, also dismissed Robinson’s claims as false and took her off the airwaves last week.

At least until a Republican gets elected again, then all will be well for them.

Maybe they should write science fiction instead of doing what they’re doing.

I couldn’t dream this stuff up if I tried.

...in her role with NewsLeast...er...NewsMax. Robinson asks these incredibly long, convoluted questions, literally paragraphs long and usually containing multiple conspiracy theories. I really hope NewsMax gives her the boot as well. She gave them a backhand in one of her tweets right before the plug was pulled.

They are bioluminescent enzymes used in labs.

They are not in any of the vaccines.

They are not something evil.

If it was in the vaccines, 92% of Democrats would be walking around with flashing butts.

Republicans would be able to see how many of their big, tough leaders' asses were on fire as well. Boy, would they be surprised how many of their bug, tough leaders are bald faced liars about being anti-vaxxers.

Right now, she is on some kind of extended "suspension", but an article from yesterday makes things sound more serious for her. Right before Twitter pulled the plug, one of her last tweets was a backhand to her (former?) employer.

[link:https://www.thedailybeast.com/newsmax-star-emerald-robinson-returns-to-twitterand-is-permanently-banned-hours-later-for-vax-insanity|]

Robinson’s future with Newsmax, meanwhile, remains up in the air. Following publication, a network spokesperson told the Daily Beast that the far-right reporter “remains off-air as Newsmax reviews matters relating to her posts made outside of the channel on her own social media,” adding that the network has “not determined when she will return to the air.”

OAN is the last notch in the right-wing belt. After that you'd have to get a job at Mar-ma-lardo.

...which was her previous media gig. So I have no idea where she ends up if she gets canned from NewsMax. Some of the recent news about her goes into her background. Apparently she made some really terrible direct-to-video movies. This whole media thing is just another gig for her as far as I can tell.

But this is an example of taking that Bullshit too far.

WHY.IN.THE.FUCK.DOES.NEWSMAX.HAVE.A.WHITE.HOUSE
REPORTER?????


Why not give a seat to Tass and Putin?

That this fucking joke is not run out of the room on a rail is an example of how far we've fallen. It's like the Pentagon Spokesperson giving a seat to Tokyo Rose.

You can't fucking bitch about the abnormal being normalized, and then normalize the abnormal.

Until we see this destructive propaganda as destructive propaganda, someone is going to get killed .

That was my first response to Hate Radio, if we don't do something about it someone is going to get killed.

I was right.

Same for OAN and Infowars - none of these are legitimate news networks, and actively conspired to commit treason. They should be thrown out on their asses!
