It does not appear to include Ms Greene’s congressional Twitter account.</p> <p>A spokesperson for Ms Greene confirmed to The Gateway Pundit that the lawmaker is locked out of her Twitter account.</p> <p>It is unclear what specific tweets led to the suspension.</p> <p>The move comes as 72 House Democrats have co-sponsored Representative Jimmy Gomez’s resolution to expel Ms Greene from Congress, which he introduced to the house on Friday morning.</p> <p>“I take no joy in introducing this resolution, but any member who cites political violence and threatens our lives must be expelled,” said Mr Gomez.</p> <p>Please enter your email address Please enter a valid email address Please enter a valid email address SIGN UP Thanks for signing up to the Inside Washington newsletter {{#verifyErrors}} {{message}} {{/verifyErrors}} {{^verifyErrors}} {{message}} {{/verifyErrors}} I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent.

A spokesperson for Mr Gomes said: “Despite numerous efforts to reach out to House Republicans – and quite a few conversations – none of them were willing to publicly support the resolution at this time.”</p> <p>This is not the first time Ms Green has been suspended from the social media platform. In January she was suspended for 12 hours for a tweet telling Trump supporters to “mobilize”.</p> <p>A Twitter spokesperson at the time told NPR that Ms Greene had been temporarily locked out for “multiple violations of our civic integrity policy”.</p> <p>Ms Greene has been pictured wearing face masks bearing the words “Free Speech” and “Censored” yet maintains a second Twitter account, and has a presence on Facebook, Gab, Telegram, and Parler.</p> </article> <div id=comments> <div class=comment> <p><a href=https://www.reddit.com/u/ljout>ljout</a><span class=time> on March 19th, 2021 at 14:42 UTC <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/m8ie1i/_/grhg8jg?context=1">&raquo;</a></p> <p><p>The woman thinks Guam is a foreign country.

The woman is a disgrace to everything our government should stand for. The fact she ran unopposed because her supporters ran her opposition out if town and destroyed his marriage should have disqualified her immediately. When she&#39;s out of Congress it won&#39;t be too soon.</p> <p>Edit: for anyone wanting an article on the matter <a href=https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/10/17/kevin-van-ausdal-qanon-marjorie-greene-georgia/ >https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/10/17/kevin-van-ausdal-qanon-marjorie-greene-georgia/</a></p> <p>The tl;dr is this: Ausdal decided to run against Greene after reading some of her more crazy conspiracies online. He approached his campaign with more levelheaded approach that focused on talking about the issues.</p> <p>Greene being Greene went full stupid by making increasingly machositic and violent adds involving guns. Ausdal tried to maintain civility but it became more and more obvious Greene wasn&#39;t interested. She continued to post more and more inflammatory ads and posts eventually labeling Ausdal a far left marxist along the likes of AOC (a common Republican hate target). She even had an ad where she posed with a AR-15 along side pictures of AOC, Pelosi, and Omar. It included statements like how she was their worst enemy, and that the Republican party needed to go on the offensive.</p> <p>When Greene made these targeted ads is when the death threats started coming. Mostly people commenting in Greene&#39;s own ads and posts. Things like &quot;The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat&quot; and &quot;I bet if I put a gun to his face he&#39;d start crying&quot;.</p> <p>Ausdal was understandably disturbed by these comments which littered her posts and videos. It wasn&#39;t just one nutcase, it was hundreds/thousands all wishing harm on him and his family.</p> <p>The stress caused his already unsteady marriage to fracture resulting in the wife asking for a divorce. He ended up having to move in with his parents and end his run for office.</p> </p> </div> <div class=comment> <p><a href=https://www.reddit.com/u/SoggyFlakes4US>SoggyFlakes4US</a><span class=time> on March 19th, 2021 at 14:28 UTC <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/m8ie1i/_/grhejzf?context=1">&raquo;</a></p> <p><p>FYI she had made at least a million in donations SINCE Jan 6th.
