Twitter said Sunday that it had temporarily suspended the personal account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) following “multiple” violations of the platform’s content policy.
In a statement to The Hill, a Twitter spokesperson confirmed that “the account referenced has been temporarily locked out for multiple violations of our civic integrity policy.”
Greene said in a statement Sunday that her suspension was the result of “the borderline monopolistic stranglehold a few Big Tech companies have on the American political discourse.”
……..
The Georgia congresswoman, who was elected in November to her first term, has voiced support for the QAnon conspiracy theory, which claims that President Trump has secretly battled a global cabal of child sex traffickers linked to the Democratic Party. She has also in recent weeks supported Trump’s false claims relating to the results of the 2020 election, and she wore a mask that read “Trump won” on the House floor.

I’m sure the woman who claimed a plane never really flew into the Pentagon on 9/11, an anti-Muslim bigot who has been nonetheless welcomed by @GOPLeader and @SteveScalise into the GOP caucus, will totally be chastised by this 12 hour suspension, examining her life choices https://t.co/0hNZtJ37Fc

Hi Marge, may I call you Marge? Your good pal Roger Stone and the other #MAGA #QAnon folk drove down Republican turnout while @fairvote and others turned out their voters.
Your contributions to campaign strategy so far includes extremism, authoritarianism and anti-Semitism. https://t.co/3n3S3RdQmi
