Twitter says its automated technology made a “mistake” in suspending Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) Account for 12 hours, which started around 1am on Friday morning, according to its desk.
Why does it matter: Greene’s office on Friday claimed that Twitter “gave no explanation” as to why the account was suspended. A Twitter spokesman told Axios on Friday that our automated systems have taken enforcement action on the aforementioned account in error, “adding:” This action has been reversed and access to the account has been reinstated. “
The big picture: A resolution presented on Friday to expel Greene from the House, led by Representative Jimmy Gomez (D-California), has more than 70 co-sponsors. But the move is unlikely without Republican support.
- Greene has already been removed from her duties on the committee. She also caused a lot of inconvenience in the House by calling for the motion to be postponed while there are still deals to be made, which resulted in lengthy votes.
- Greene, whose account was also suspended in January, faced reaction for his controversial comments and previous support for the QAnon conspiracy theory.
