Twitter suspends Marjorie Taylor Greene's account for one week

Source: CNN

(CNN Business)Twitter (TWTR) has suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's account for one week following another violation of the platform's rules, the company said Tuesday.

Greene tweeted on Monday that the Food and Drug Administration "should not approve the covid vaccines." She also claimed the vaccines were "failing" and that they were ineffective at reducing the virus's spread.

In response, Twitter labeled the tweet as misleading and prevented Greene from tweeting for one week.

The tweet, a company spokesperson said, "was labeled in line with our COVID-19 misleading information policy. The account will be in read-only mode for a week due to repeated violations of the Twitter Rules."

..............Public health officials have praised the effectiveness of the Covid vaccines and have actively encouraged people across the country to get inoculated. While there are some breakthrough cases among people who are vaccinated, they only have mild to moderate symptoms of the disease. In regions where large swaths of people are unvaccinated, cases have been skyrocketing.

Greene has made a number of controversial comments recently about the coronavirus. She suggested, for example, at a recent Republican fundraiser in Alabama that Southerners could threaten President Joe Biden's "police state friends" with guns if they show up at their homes asking about their coronavirus vaccination status.

She has also compared mask mandates to the Holocaust and was stripped of her committee assignments for promoting various conspiracy theories. Greene made another Nazi-era comparison last month, saying people who knock on doors encouraging vaccinations are “medical brown shirts,” referring to the paramilitary organization that helped facilitate the rise of the Nazis and Hitler..............................

Maybe they should just cut her off completely, she has no intention of complying with the rules and will keep pushing the limits every chance she gets.

She needs to learn a really hard lesson.

Her latest tweet is downright dangerous. You know she’ll just double-down on the anti-vax stuff.
