Twitter locks account of congresswoman who live-tweeted about Nancy Pelosi's location during riot

A Republican congresswoman who supports QAnon had her account locked by Twitter this week after she live-tweeted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's location during last week's deadly Capitol Hill insurrection.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) revealed on Instagram that Twitter had prevented her from posting until Inauguration Day on Jan. 20.

It was not immediately clear why Twitter had shut down the lawmaker's account.

Also the House needs an immediate rule change to deal with dangerous sociopaths like her: if you don’t submit to screening for weapons you will be barred admission to the building and fined.

She followed that of Gaetz by a bit, and it was like a one-two punch to sanity.

You may be facing charges, and if there’s any justice, expulsion from Congress. You wanted death, destruction, and chaos there and you were right there giving aid & comfort to the rioters and would-be murderers.
