Twitter has decided to suspend the official account of Republican-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene, who spoke of a “day of trans revenge” after the shooting that killed six people at a school in Nashville, USA.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a member of the House of Representatives and an elected representative of America’s hardest wing, posted a screenshot of the message on her personal account on Tuesday and said some posts from her official account had been banned for violating the Twitter Rules.
“My official congressional account has been suspended for seven days for releasing the Antifa movement’s violent action plan for ‘Trans Day of Vengeance.’ After the mass shooting of children by a transgender man,” tweeted the Georgia Republican-elect, a transgender rights critic.
Twitter security chief Ella Irwin said she had to “clean up” the platform to remove more than 5,000 tweets and retweets from the post.
“We do not support tweets that incite violence by anyone,” she said on Twitter.
“‘Revenge’ does not mean peaceful protest. It’s okay to organize or support peaceful protests,” she added.
After a transgender shooter that targets a Christian school and murders children, every American should know about the threat of Antifa-fueled transterrorism.
Twitter should not gloss over inciting politically motivated violence. https://t.co/XGtqvXLLgw

The message “was retransmitted yesterday by a large number of users on our network and I’m sure this was due to heightened language sensitivity following the tragic events in Nashville,” Ella Irwin said.
Six people, three children and three adults, were killed Monday at a Nashville school. The killer who was shot during the attack, Audrey Hale, has been identified by police as a woman who used male pronouns on social media.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Twitter account had previously been suspended for tweeting about vaccines in violation of the social network’s rules on misinformation about COVID-19 and for making false claims of voter fraud.
