GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has now been temporarily suspended from Twitter after tweeting information that was alleged to be ‘misinformation.’

As The New York Times reports:

SAN FRANCISCO — Twitter said on Monday that it was suspending Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from its service for 12 hours after she posted messages that violated its policy against sharing misleading information about the coronavirus.

Ms. Greene, Republican of Georgia, has been an outspoken opponent of vaccines and masks as tools to curb the pandemic. In tweets on Sunday and Monday, she argued that Covid-19 was not dangerous for people unless they were obese or over age 65, and said vaccines should not be required.

But cases of the coronavirus are on the rise, and the highly contagious Delta variant accounts for more than half of new infections in the United States, federal health officials said this month. In Ms. Greene’s home state, Georgia, new cases have increased 193 percent in the past two weeks.

Twitter said Ms. Greene’s tweets were misinformation, and it barred her from the service until Tuesday. “We took enforcement action on the account @mtgreenee for violations of the Twitter Rules, specifically the Covid-19 misleading information policy,” a Twitter spokesman said. The company also added labels to Ms. Greene’s posts about the vaccines, calling them “misleading” and pointing to information about the safety of the inoculations.

The move comes in the wake of the Biden administration pressuring social media companies to crack down on speech that the Democrat deemed to be illegitimate.

  1. Good! People are dying because they believe the BS that is being spread by fools that just do not care.

    1. Total BS. VAERS data shows that there were more deaths from the “vaccines” the week before last than from the virus itself. They are a far cry from “safe” and it’s anyone’s guess what the long term effects will be from this experimental gene therapy. People have a right to state their opinions, unless you would rather live in China or Russia.

      1. Exactly! The media, CDC and of course Dr Fukki are not telling us any of that information.
        Personally, I’m incredibly scared of this jab!

    2. So go ahead and get your vaccine. You think it’s safe after so many people are dying after getting vaccinated, or having serious health problems. You’re another troll trying to be heard with your head up your ass

    3. So far 45000 people have passed away from the Vaccines and others have had serious side affects and even strokes, heavy bleeding, miscarriages and more. It is an experimental MRNA Bio Weapon containing spike proteins (Nano Particles. Mercury and Aluminum plus many other poisons and aborted baby tissue. Pure evil

  2. I guess you are no longer entitled to your own opinion. Where has my country gone. And yes I did take the vaccine but that was my choice not the govt.

  3. Some fools believe all the BS they see on social media!

    Free speech, not censorship, allows BS to be challenged on social media!

  4. Up 190% so when they last had 100 now they have 300? How many of the “so called wuhan positives” were previously vaccinated? Missing some facts twitter, but go ahead and cancel whomever on your b s plandemic hoax!

  5. It is just a matter of time before we, the people, with our elected officials take down Big Tech. I can’t wait. I hope they all go to jail and are bankrupt. Can’t wait.

  6. RIME TO SUE BIDEN AND TWITTER OVER THIS CSNSORING OF THIS CONGRESS WOMAN AND HER TWEETS! NO DOUBT SHE IS RIGHT AS FUZZY JOE IS ALWAYS WRONG! CALLING THE SHOTS NOW AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION IS A TRAITOR ACT AGAINST OUR FREE SPEECH!

  7. If you haven’t been banned from twitter you are doing something wrong, and not thinking for yourself.

  8. Oh’biden is dying to shut the country down again. Also pissed because they didn’t reach his vax goal by July 4th. What are they to do??? Push the new/stronger pandemic to strong arm everyone that’s not put up their arm to the needle.
    By shutting the country down and burning it to the ground, what do you get??? NWO/Build back better.
    Soooooo, stay strong and let’s be prepared to push back. I don’t recognize these United States of America.

  9. When are we going to put these disloyal f!@ks in their place. For the most intelligent animals on the planet we are some dumb asses…these DOUCHES only care about money…BOYCOTT THEM and see how quickly they change their tunes! But then there’s We the SHEEPLE…

  10. There have been Ant-Vaccine proponents for years. It’s not against the law to offer an opinion on ANYTHING. Big Tech needs to get off their high horse and apologize to anyone they’ve censored.

  11. She sounds completely ignorant saying only obese and over 65 get covid. My household of 3, including my bone thin 28 yo son, got it this January. Maybe she should be blocked more often.

  12. It’s STASI all over again. Everything not in line with socialism is “misinformation” and&/or hate-speech. Censoring is the primary tool of socialism, this vile ideology cannot survive without massive censoring.

  13. You shall not have a personal option nor free speech comrade! Welcome to the New Democratic rules for lowly citizens. You much comply! What a joke.

    How about all of the disinformation over the past 4 years regarding President Trump. Who is going to punish China for this Pandemic and killing people worldwide…Hacking, biological warfare, and correct politicians on China’s tit!

  14. Twitter is full of twits with an IQ of 1. The delta variant risk is very minimal. I see people full of misinformation when I go to the gym. Some people are wearing face masks while working out. Nobody is sick at the gym so there is no chance of getting the flu or the hyped-up Covid virus. I figure these fools are Biden voters and are like the people wearing a face mask while driving in their car–idiots.

  15. It’s not misinformation when numerous medical professionals well versed in virology are advising their patients with the same medical professional opinion as stated by MTG.

  16. Translated, “Misinformation” on Covid and vaccines is the raw nerve to these corrupt liars who plan on depopulating our World

  17. Since she does nor agree nor support THEIR narrative it’s mis information in their view. But they LIE and she is telling the truth.
