Wait wait Taylor Greene has been suspended from Twitter?

Just heard that

Twitter suspends Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for spreading COVID-19 misinformation
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/twitter-suspend-marjorie-taylor-greene-covid-19-vaccine-misinformation/

Twitter suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene — again — on Monday night, after she shared information about COVID-19 that violated the company's misinformation policy.


In a series of tweets posted on Sunday and Monday, Greene shared "misleading" information about coronavirus and vaccines, Twitter said. Greene claimed COVID-19 is not dangerous for people who are not obese or over the age of 65, and saying vaccines should not be required. The Georgia Republican, who has previously compared mask mandates to the Holocaust, was locked out of her account for 12 hours.

Her account is accessible in "read-only" mode, a Twitter spokesperson told CBS News on Monday night. If she continues to spread COVID-19 misinformation, the far-right congresswoman could be kicked off the social media platform permanently.

The suspension must be long-expired by now. Along with some unknown number of COVIDIOTS who listened to her.

Perhaps even slavery, the Spanish Inquisition, life under Caligula in Rome, etc.

She probably knows nothing about that part of history anyway. Maybe she'd make the comparison if some right-wing supporter mentioned it to her, though.

The more reports they get, the more likely they are to ban her.
