Marjorie Taylor Greene Permanently Banned From Twitter For Spreading COVID “Misinformation”

Just days after Twitter banned Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA technology and a strident skeptic of the vaccines produced using his the mRNA framework, for allegedly spread COVID “misinformation” (their words, not ours), Twitter and its new leadership have struck again. This time, they’re “permanently” banning Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s personal account for allegedly spreading misinformation as well.

In a statement, Twitter explained they would ban MTG’s personal account (which has a far larger following than her “official” representative account) due to “repeated” violations.

“We permanently suspended Marjorie Taylor Greene for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy,” Twitter said in a statement first reported by CNN. “We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy.”

Political reporters quickly jumped on the story.

The NYT’s Davey Alba says MTG’s personal account has accrued “five strikes” under Twitter’s guidelines, which means she’s “not coming back.”

The Georgia Congresswoman’s official account could also be banned if Rep. Greene starts violating Twitter’s rules on COVID misinformation using that account.

More: Twitter also confirms she still has access to her official account @RepMTG, as it’s not currently in violation of the Twitter Rules.

But Twitter has banned accounts before (notably Trump) for ban evasion. So if violating tweets appear there, it’ll likely be suspended too.

One Twitter representative told the NYT that the company has been “very clear” about its policies, and that Greene has violated them anyway.

“We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy,” Katie Rosborough, a Twitter spokeswoman, said in a statement.

Greene responded to Twitter’s decision on Gettr, the conservative social media platform that has cast itself as an alternative to Twitter.

“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.

Of course, we at Zero Hedge know first hand that when Twitter’s “permanent” bans aren’t always “permanent” (and oftentimes the “misinformation” accounts are accused of spreading ends up being the truth, even if it doesn’t jive with the “official” narrative).

Perhaps Greene can join President Trump in his lawsuit against Big Tech?
