Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was suspended from Twitter on Sunday leaving the Congresswoman guessing as to why
The lawmaker was prohibited from posting tweets for 12 hours early on Sunday morning
‘We use a combination of technology and human review to enforce the Twitter Rules across the service. In this case, our automated systems took enforcement action on the account referenced in error. This action has been reversed, and access to the account has been reinstated,’ Twitter explained in a statement.
Greene’s account was suspended for about 12 hours before Twitter had it reinstated.
Greene went onto social media site Gab where she theorized that she had been suspended for various right-wing stances, including anti-abortion and opposition to mandating COVID-19 vaccine passports.
‘After tweeting, ‘He is risen! Happy Easter!’ I was suspended this morning for 12 hours!’ Greene wrote on Gab. ‘Was it my Christian faith? My willingness to Fire Fauci? Message to Big Tech: I’LL NEVER STOP!!!’
After having her access restored, she posted all of the possible reasons she believed may have caused her to be suspended from the social media platform

In January she was suspended legitimately by the platform for spreading misinformation about elections.
