. . . she was spreading COVID disinformation.

IN FACT, she was suspended because she's an incompetent, ignorant, insufferable asshole. Who will be re-elected because she represents her constituents, most of whom are , , , ,

2. "Marjorie Taylor Greene's Personal Twitter Account Permanently Suspended for Pushing Covid Lies"

Twitter has permanently suspended Marjorie Taylor Greene’s personal account, @mtgreenee, for pushing Covid misinformation, a company spokesperson confirmed to Rolling Stone on Sunday.

“We permanently suspended [@mtgreenee] for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy,” the spokesperson wrote. “We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy.”

Twitter’s Covid-19 misinformation policy uses a strike system to punish accounts that violate the policy. One strike results in nothing; second and third strikes result in a 12-hour account lock; a fourth strike brings a seven-day account lock; and a fifth strike results in a permanent suspension. The Georgia lawmaker’s account was suspended for one week back in August after she tweeted that the Food and Drug Administration shouldn’t approve the Covid vaccines because they were “failing” to mitigate the spread of the disease.

Greene’s personal account may be no more, but her congressional account, @RepMTG, remains active. “That account is not in violation of the Twitter Rules,” a company spokesperson explained to Rolling Stone.

from your Congressional account!

I guess only the voters can finally put the period on that sentence. And considering who votes for her, and how far down into the idiot pit they’ve fallen, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Twitter Permanently Suspends Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Account
The social media service said the Republican congresswoman had violated its policy on coronavirus misinformation.

Twitter on Sunday permanently suspended the personal account of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican of Georgia, after the company said she had violated its Covid-19 misinformation policies.

Twitter said that Ms. Greene had a fifth “strike,” which meant that her account will not be restored. The company had issued her a fourth strike in August after she falsely posted that the vaccines were “failing.” Ms. Greene was given a third strike less than a month before that when she had tweeted that Covid-19 was not dangerous for people unless they were obese or over age 65, and said vaccines should not be required.

Ms. Greene’s official Congressional account, @RepMTG, remains active because tweets from that account did not violate the service’s rules.

Dirt bags like Greene are enemies to our nation. I have zero respect for them on any level.
If they suddenly burst into flames, I'm not the guy who would be calling 911.

That's the 'polite' way of saying it.

I've heard it "If she was on fire I wouldn't pi.......... - OK, maybe I'll be a 'little' polite too!
