Twitter Suspends Marjorie Taylor Greene, but Allows Trump’s Shill to Keep Posting His Lies (?)

In the first week of January 2021, Donald Trump was banished from Twitter due to his reckless and relentless lies about election fraud. Twitter imposed the ban on January 8th, two days after Trump’s deadly insurrection on Capitol Hill, saying that “we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”

Now, almost exactly a year to the day, Twitter has also suspended Trump’s congressional lickspittle, Marjorie Taylor Greene. In Greene’s case the reason given for her suspension was “repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy.” Naturally Greene is fuming that “Twitter is an enemy to America,” and promises to “show America we don’t need them.” Presumably she will move over to one of the failing alt-Twitter sites like Gab, Parler, Gettr, or maybe Trump’s allegedly forthcoming TRUTH Social. Which is hysterically misnamed for an Internet site run by a documented pathological liar.

As satisfying as it is to see someone like Greene exiled from social media, it also highlights the shortcomings in how Twitter carries out the enforcement of their policies. Because if Greene is considered to be in violation of their terms of service, then how can Trump’s official spokes-shill, Liz Harrington, be allowed to continue posting his lies?

In the year since Trump’s suspension he has actually escalated his reckless rhetoric. He continues to make purposefully inflammatory comments online, at his cult rallies, and in appearances on fringe TV outlets like Newsmax and One America News (OAN). His rancid commentaries serve to encourage his glassy-eyed disciples to “stand by” for his prophesized and delusional political resurrection. It’s a prospect that even ultra-conservative Republicans are frightened by.

Nevertheless, with Harrington’s help, Trump has managed to maintain an online presence despite his exile from Twitter. That presence has been dominated by his relentless compulsion to lie and hurl infantile insults at his foes. And he continues to propagate his “Big Lie” that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged” and “stolen” from him. All in an effort to advance his aspirations of messianic tyranny. In lieu of tweeting, Trump puts out press releases with the same lie-filled histrionics that are identical to what he used to tweet. And those messages are being relayed to the Twitter-verse by Harrington.

Harrington is posting these incendiary outbursts despite Twitter’s stated policy of prohibiting anyone from attempting to circumvent a suspension. So Harrington is in flagrant violation of Twitter policies that call for suspension of the violator. Twitter needs to enforce their rules without prejudice or preference. Otherwise the rules are meaningless. And in Trump’s case, potentially dangerous.

There is simply no excuse for permitting Harrington to aid and abet Trump in circumventing his ban. While her reach is a pittance of the cult devotees that Trump roped in, the messages are just as dishonest and dangerous as if Trump were posting them himself. Twitter knows this and needs to do their job, enforce their rules, and ban Harrington and other offenders.

  1. And Lyin Bozo is threatening sedition in revenge.

    So let’s just ignore that both Moronic Traitor Garbage and the unworthy god she worships both spewed terrorist propaganda and threatened the life of a sitting president. Let’s blame that sitting president for our sedition, right, horseface?

    Of course, the hypocrites in charge STILL have taken no action against the Wandering Jellybrain – spewing the VERY SAME terrorist propaganda – and LizzyShill – still sending Her Beloved God’s tweets in defiance of Twitter’s own rules….

  2. Mark, I totally agree with you.
    And it seems to me that Twitter suspended him/his account right after 1/6/21 as a reflex reaction to insurrection we all saw unfold live on our TVs, as a result of Trump’s rally of speeches to fire up the mob that day, where he was headliner of the show.
    Corporations said they’d be witholding campaign $$ donations (bribes?) from those who appear to be involved…sure didn’t last tho. Seemed the outrage after 1/6th didn’t even last as long as the planning & execution of the days events did!
    We were all (except Trump’s allies in the act) stunned to see such UNAmerican behavior playing out before us! That isn’t how the USA does democracy! Violent mobs trying to take over, after losing election is something other countries did. Not ours!
    I think Twitter realized the part it unwittingly played in what happened that day & wanted not to be associated with any of it, after. (That’s good.)
    But now, it seems just too phony-baloney & they just want to APPEAR to be the ‘adult’ in room full of social media ‘children’. That isn’t the same thing as actually reacting responsibly tho, now is it?!

  3. And Moronic Traitor Garbage’s official @RepMTG Twitter remains active, although she doesn’t spew as many lies on this account as she did on the other. Betcha that will change once she realizes she has an alternative.

    Plus, this. Naturally, she goes for the lies and the Gimmie Money appeal. It’s her way. Damn her.

    Greene begs donors for $500 contribution after Twitter ban

  4. I laud Twitter for its action against Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Congresswoman sicked on us by equally crazy Georgians from her demographic cesspool. But, I agree that Twitter should not have “prejudice or preference”. I recall a video of loudmouth Senator Ted Cruz from Texas putting Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey through the mill with baseless claims. Around the same time Dorsey resigned. Exactly who is afraid of motor mouth Cruz?
