Twitter says its automated technology made a “mistake” in suspending Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) For 12 hours, which began around 1 a.m. Friday morning, according to her office.
Why does it matter: The Greene office said on Friday that Twitter had given “no explanation” as to why the account had been suspended. A Twitter spokesman told Axios on Friday that our automated systems had taken steps to enforce the account referred to by mistake, adding: “This action has been canceled and access to the account has been restored.
The whole picture: A resolution introduced Friday for the expulsion of Greene from the House, led by Representative Jimmy Gomez (D-California), has more than 70 sponsors. But the measure is long-lasting, with no Republican support.
- Greene has already been removed from his committee duties. She also caused more upset in the House by calling for the adjournment of motions, while there is still work to be done, causing time-consuming votes.
- Greene, whose account was also suspended in January, faced backlash for his controversial comments and previous support for QAnon conspiracy theory.
