Social media platform, Twitter has temporarily restricted Marjorie Taylor Greene’s congressional account after the United States lawmaker tweeted a graphic that referred to a “Trans Day of Vengeance” following the Nashville school shooting.
Greene, who is a member of the House of Representatives, posted a screenshot of the notice on her congressional account on Tuesday which said some of her congressional account’s features were being temporarily suspended for overstepping Twitter’s rules.
My Congressional account was suspended for 7 days for exposing Antifa, who are organizing a call for violence called ‘Trans Day of Vengeance.’ The day after the mass murder of children by a trans shooter.”
Greene tweeted.
Ella Irwin, Twitter’s trust and safety head said it had to “sweep” the social media platform to remove more than 5,000 tweets and retweets of the graphic.
We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them.”
Irwin tweeted.
She added that Vengeance’ does not imply peaceful protest. Organizing or support for peaceful protests is ok. The graphic was reported by a high number of users across our platform yesterday and yes, I’m sure the timing of that was due to heightened sensitivity to the language, given the tragic events in Nashville. We always evaluate tweets driving a sudden spike in user complaints.
Six people, including three children, were killed in the Nashville school shooting on Monday.
Audrey Hale, the shooter Audrey Hale, who was shot during the attack, was identified by police as a female who had used male pronouns on social media.
Greene has been a verbal attacker of transgender rights and last year supported a proposal to outlaw the requirement of gender-affirming healthcare for minors.
Twitter has previously suspended Greene’s account over her tweets about vaccines in violation of its Covid-19 misinformation policy, and also for wrong claims about election fraud.
