Twitter Suspends Former Revenge-Porn Operator, Senate Candidate Craig Brittain
Goodnight, sweet prince.
Former revenge porn operator and fringe Arizona Senate candidate Craig Brittain (R) received the ultimate punishment today from his favorite social network. Twitter suspended Brittain for the second time, effectively banning him from the platform.
Recently, Brittain had been spreading gross conspiracy theories about the Parkland shooting survivors, calling them paid actors.
Brittain tweeted constantly under the name @SenatorBrittain, sharing missives that ranged from utterly bonkers to deeply offensive. In a text message conversation — his preferred means of responding to questions — Brittain said that Twitter is trying to sabotage his Senate campaign by blocking his account.
"After continually hiding tweets from most of our followers and refusing to verify our account, today Twitter proved that it is in the business of trying to rig elections for the left, as CEO Jack Dorsey is a donor and member of the Clinton Foundation," Brittain wrote. "Millions of conservatives and libertarians have been banned without reason, including Milo Yiannopoulos, Roger Stone, and others. If Twitter cares about fair elections they must restore and verify our account."
