BREAKING: Twitter is taking dramatic action on remaining QAnon accounts for breaking their "Coordinated Harmful Activity" rules, some of whom heavily promoted Wednesday's storming of the Capitol.

Mike Flynn, Sidney Powell, 8kun's Ron Watkins banned.

Twitter's statement below:

EDIT: Corrected "bans" to "suspends" because the Tweet itself isn't accurate. But they are suspended.

1. Good.

Now ban MF45 forever.

[Bobstandard]

2. A suspension isn't a ban. N/T

[SMC22307]

8. Did you read the statement? (n/t)

[grumpyduck]

3. Good, now,

after the 21st, get the Pentagon to recall Flynn to active duty and court-martial him.

[LiberalFighter]

4. Damn! I thought they were banned from airline flights.

[MelissaB]

5. Please tell me it is Flynn jr as well.

I won’t put in writing how I feel about that little shit.

[FelineOverlord]

17. Please tell me it is Flynn jr as well.

Yes, Flynn Jr. was also banned.

6. Good start! Now make it a lifetime ban and add anyone Trump to it and you may be worthwhile

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

7. Better late than never?... I guess. nt

9. Isn't "permanently suspend" another way of saying "ban"?

[Lunabell]

10. Twitter is partially liable in my opinion.

They chose profits over decency. They chose to let this maniac spout his hate for years because it generated revenue. Same with Facebook.

[enough]

13. Agree

11. Coming up next on Fox News: Lt Gen Flynn and Ms. Powell speak to the entire world

about how their voices are being silenced because of their political views, and what a horrible violation of their 1st Amendment Rights is being perpetrated.

They will, in that process, no doubt espouse a number of their political views, and be heard by millions worldwide.

They'll then leave the building, and face zero legal repercussions for having done so.

Which is the only thing re: speech that is ACTUALLY guaranteed by the 1st Amendment.

[edbermac]

12. Meh, they'll move to Parler.

Free to spout their RW bullshit.

[Sugarcoated]

20. I just read that's been shut down

[intrepidity]

14. Whoa! Nice! We should thank Fred Brennan for his tireless efforts

For anyone who doesn't know, Fred has been banging hard on Twitter for quite awhile to ban the Watkinses.

Meet Fred:

15. Did Dorsey Get A Spine Transplant?

I know with the naked ape on his way out the door, the power of the office can't be used as pressure.
But, with a Dem house the last 2 years, no harmful legislation would be passed against them that would benefit the moron.
So, what was the fear for 2 years?
Dorsey is just a coward, and even if the value of Twitter fell in half, there'd be no real harm done.
I don't understand how t---- being gone for good was the source of so much new courage.

16. Twitter suspends Flynn and Powell. And others.
