Conservative pundit Bill Mitchell has been permanently suspended from Twitter, the social media platform confirmed to The Hill on Saturday.

"[Mitchell] has been permanently suspended for violating the Twitter Rules by using one account to evade the suspension of another account," a Twitter spokesperson said in an email.

Mitchell confirmed the suspension in a post on social media app Parler, though asserted he was booted from Twitter over his stance on wearing a mask amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“Twitter just suspended me for opposing masks. Who knows if I’ll ever be back,” Mitchell said. “I’m sure their decision wasn’t political at all.”

Mitchell hosts the YouTube program "YourVoice America" and he's known for pushing QAnon conspiracy theories.

Typical of him to even lie about why he was suspended.

1. It would be nice if all the RW nutjobs moved over to Parler "in protest" of the platforms

used by civilized society. At Parler, they can just create one big echo chamber and they won't bother normal people ever again.

2. +1,000,000

3. There's nothing to stop people like this from continuing to create new accounts

to spew their garbage from.

And as long as he is still on youtube, he'll just get more emboldened.

5. He had three new accounts before the sunrise,,,,

Bill Mitchell was one of the very dumbest people on Twitter, with a brain capable of sending these messages to his fingers to type on his phone

I’ll say, mercy.

7. I'm sure Bill's opposition to (and disinformation about) masks wasn't political at all, either. /s

Even if he makes other accounts, his suspension remains a red flag. It warns others to stay away, and warns him that they're aware of his crap and willing to act. Twitter can't force stupid people to stop following con artists, but this was a nice opening salvo against him.
