Twitter has permanently suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s personal account for spreading COVID-19 misinformation.
“We permanently suspended Marjorie Taylor Greene for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy,” Twitter said in a statement, as first reported by CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan. “We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy.”
Twitter in March said it would permanently suspend accounts that repeatedly post COVID-19 vaccine misinformation.

The official representative account for Greene, a freshman Republican from Georgia, remains active on Twitter.
Greene responded to Twitter’s decision on GETTR, the conservative social media platform launched by Jason Miller, who was the chief spokesman for former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and a senior advisor for the former president’s 2020 campaign.
“When Maxine Waters can go to the streets and threaten violence on Twitter, Kamala and Ilhan can bail out rioters on Twitter, and Chief spokesman for terrorist IRGC can tweet mourning Soleimani but I get suspended for tweeting VAERS statistics, Twitter is an enemy to America and can’t handle the truth. That’s fine, I’ll show America we don’t need them and it’s time to defeat our enemies,” Greene wrote.
Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California has repeatedly been the target of criticism by conservatives for comments from 2018 where she encouraged people to “push back” on members of the Trump administration in public and “tell them they’re not welcome anymore.”
Greene also made an unsubstantiated connection concerning Vice President Kamala Harris and Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and their support of the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a nonprofit organization that assists low-income individuals who need money for bail. Some conservatives have equated support of the Fund to a desire to bail out rioters who destroyed property after the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis last year.
Greene’s suspension from Twitter comes nearly a year after the social media platform permanently suspended Trump from accessing his account, citing the possibility of further incitement of violence following the deadly January 6 siege of the Capitol by Trump supporters.
Since her election to the House, Greene has been become one of the most polarizing politicians on Capitol Hill, reveling in the sort of partisan combat that defined the Trump presidency.
Last February, only weeks after assuming office, Greene was stripped of her committee assignments, an extraordinary move taken by the Democratic-controlled House after the congresswoman promoted a range of conspiracy theories and endorsed political violence on social media.
She has continued to attract attention for her extreme rhetoric and antics; a confrontation that Greene initiated with Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri led the Democratic congresswoman to switch Capitol Hill offices to escape the immediate orbit the Georgia Republican.
In May, Greene compared mask mandates to the Holocaust and apologized for her comments the next month, but then compared President Joe Biden’s calls to vaccinate Americans against the coronavirus to the Nazi regime.
“Biden pushing a vaccine that is NOT FDA approved shows covid is a political tool used to control people,” she tweeted in July. “People have a choice, they don’t need your medical brown shirts showing up at their door ordering vaccinations. You can’t force people to be part of the human experiment.”
Since the congresswoman made her aforementioned statement, the Food and Drug Administration has issued full approval for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
Last month, The New York Times reported that Greene and Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia were collectively fined over $100,000 for refusing to adhere to the House’s mask rules set by Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California.

It won’t be long before American silence this Communist SCUM!
Twitter is a trash rag magazine company and not worth a penny to be on. They are criminals and all the top people are in human and child trafficking. Guess what they deserve!
Twitter, Facebook, New York Times and other media is making me feel like this is East Germany back when I was in the military. Back then you only read what they allowed. This is getting serious.
While there at it they should permanently ban A.O.C and ILHAN OMAR for disinformation they lie thier asses off on a constant basis. So sick of this crap.
They won’t do a thing to these racist squad women like AOC, Omar or that bald headed freak, Pressley. The double standard keeps getting more and more obvious.
And that bald headed freak has just tested positive for Covid. Yay.
Remember when Trump said “We need to let the democrats show the people who they are……can we all see now?”
Fuck Twitter!!
Twitter is just another socialist rag , and I figured that after the first week when I signed up on there and do not go on there at all .
Marjorie Taylor Greene tells it like it is about communist left wing scum like that Dorsey piece of shit who looks like a homeless bum. These left wing commiecrats can’t stand to have the truth put in their ugly faces.
We already know that only LIES are allowed on twitter about COVID….
Twitter sucks and that’s why I don’t do Twitter, period. What they consider unsubstantiated claims is not relevant. Have they actually looked it up to see if it true or not. Doubtful.
Where can you find Marjorie Taylor Greene now? Give her address.

Never used Twitter or Facebook both are disgusting. Who are they to decide what is misinformation? I still don’t know why people don’t delete their accounts on both of these, when they lose enough people they will get it.
. Some conservatives have equated support of the Fund to a desire to bail out rioters who destroyed property after the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis last year.
Anyone with a brain knows they bailed out rioters and worse. I love how whoever wrote this garbage article wants you to believe that very few people believe this. Also old George Floyd would be alive today if he would have just listened to police instead of fighting with them.
Ha ha ha! About time!!!!!
