Republican running to challenge Rep. Ilhan Omar has Twitter account permanently suspended

Last edited Fri Nov 29, 2019, 05:41 PM - Edit history (1)



(CNN)A Republican candidate running to challenge Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota had her Twitter account permanently suspended for repeated violations of Twitter rules, according to a Twitter spokesperson.

Danielle Stella says she was banned for a tweet in which she spread a baseless claim about Omar and said if the claim is true, Omar should be tried for treason and hanged, according to a post to her Facebook account. Two Twitter accounts of Stella's have been suspended, her campaign confirmed to CNN.

Omar has been a frequent target of smears and attacks by President Donald Trump and his supporters. In April, Omar said she experienced an increase in death threats after Trump tweeted about a speech she had given the month before.

"This just shows how far the Republican Party has fallen under Trump. Their campaign strategy is just threats, disinformation and smears against their opponents and the people will continue to reject it," Omar said in a statement.

I just watched a campaign video of this.....whatever......being interviewed.

Beyond belief. Not just being nasty, degrading or whatever of her, but she looks like a goofy dingy ditsy teenager and has the rhetoric to match......Strikingly un-intelligent on top of it.....

And to think, some republicans in the party are funding this "............"

She's been charged with felony theft (stealing $2K of merchandise from Target).

These are the same RW nutjobs who scream in fear of Sharia law.

Hypocrites? Among many! Our society is awash in hypocrisy.

Perhaps "conversion therapy" is needed for such types?

He's prez. But Twitter needs to announce (I think they have) that and state that if his level of lies and insults continues after his term ends, his acct will be cancelled.

I'm sure that pic on CNN is her standard press-release photo she gave them. I didn't see a credit on it.

I would guess it is. I see it used on her campaign site. She's really milking it for all it's worth.

Will she even be able to hold office as a felon?

It's like that guy that sells those crappy pillows that are so expensive. Make sure that torture device is clearly visible for all to see.

Can they be any more obvious or phony?
