Greene was also barred from accessing Twitter for 12 hours after the Capitol insurrection on January 6, after she claimed without a tweet that the results of the presidential election in Georgia were “stolen”. That meant she couldn’t tweet, but she was still able to send direct messages and view her feed. A Twitter spokesman said at the time that she was temporarily blocked for violating Twitter’s policies regarding electoral misinformation.
A Facebook spokesperson said in September that the company also removed a photo of Greene with a gun next to pictures of the progressive representatives. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (DN.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) And Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) Calling on people to “go on the attack against these socialists. “
The action on Friday on Twitter comes after Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) Tweeted on Friday that he presented a measure to expel Greene from Congress over the Republican Georgia Republican’s previous calls for violence against Democrats.
“I believe that some of my @HouseGOP colleagues – and one in particular – want damage to this legislative body,” wrote Gomez in the tweet. “I’m not going to watch @RepMTG threaten our democracy and do nothing.”
A two-thirds vote would be needed to expel Greene, making it all but certain that Gomez’s effort will fail.
The House already removed Greene from the committee’s assignments in early February, after his racist and anti-Semitic comments and social media posts gained prominence. She had also previously aligned herself with the unfounded QAnon conspiracy theory and repeatedly praised former President Donald Trump’s false allegations of electoral fraud.
