Twitter says its automated technology made a “mistake” in suspending Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) Account for 12 hours, which began around 1 a.m. Friday, according to her office. .
Why it’s important: On Friday, Greene’s office alleged that Twitter gave “no explanation” as to why the account has been suspended. A Twitter spokesperson told Axios on Friday that our automated systems carried out actions of the account referred to in error, “and added:” This action has been reversed and access to the account has been restored “.
The big picture: A resolution tabled Friday to expel Greene from the House, led by Rep. Jimmy Gomez, California, has more than 70 sponsors. But the measure is launching without Republican support.
- Greene has already been removed from his committee duties. It has also caused several disturbances in the House by asking for motions to be postponed while there is still business to be done, leading to time-consuming votes.
- Greene, whose account was also suspended in January, has experienced backlash against his controversial comments and previous support for QAnon’s conspiracy theory.
