Twitter locked out Gov. Ron DeSantis' aide over 'abusive behavior' after she tweeted a story from an
Associated Press reporter and said 'drag them'Twitter locked the account of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' press secretary on Friday over tweets the company deemed "abusive."
Christina Pushaw told Insider her account was locked for 12 hours, but that Twitter did not give her a reason behind the decision. Twitter confirmed to Insider her account was locked, saying it "violated the Twitter rules on abusive behavior."
The company did not answer questions about which tweets were deemed abusive, but Pushaw had been sparring with The Associated Press this week over a story published Wednesday in which Brendan Farrington reported that one of DeSantis' top donors invested in Regeneron, the maker of a drug used to treat COVID-19 that the governor has heavily promoted.
Following publication, Pushaw repeatedly blasted the story and the reporter on Twitter.
