Twitter suspends US congresswoman over election fraud claims
Source: AP
Twitter on Sunday temporarily suspended the account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican U.S. Congresswoman from Georgia who has expressed racist views and support for QAnon conspiracy theories online.
Greene's account was suspended without explanation," she said in a statement, while also condemning big tech companies for silencing conservative views.
The 46-year-old businesswoman and political newcomer was elected to represent Georgias 14th District in November. She's gained large followings on social media in part by posting incendiary videos and comments and has also embraced QAnon, a far-right U.S. conspiracy theory centered around the debunked belief that President Donald Trump is waging a secret campaign against enemies in the deep state and a child sex trafficking ring they say is linked to Democrats.
Before noon Sunday, Greene posted a clip from an interview with a local news outlet in which she condemned Georgia election officials and expressed support for debunked theories claiming that voting machines, absentee ballots and other issues led to widespread fraud in the state during the presidential election.

(1,850 posts)She will make other claims once they restore her account and she will lose it again, for longer.
I think they have a 3 strike policy, so after the third offence she should be banned from Twitter.

It's a lie. And a dangerous one at that.

(5,162 posts)Than a group that has had the ear of the world for four years now complaining that they cannot have the ear of the world anymore. The rethugs have had plenty of air time and they used it. Now, no one wants to hear that crap anymore and they want to cry 'censorship'? Hilarious! (I wonder just what kind of mentality feels that everyone has to read their crap whether we want to or not? Sounds... fascist...)
