GOP Lawmaker Locked Out Of Twitter After Calling Transgender Biden Official Rachel Levine ‘A Man’

Twitter locked the account of Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) after he called Department of Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary Rachel Levine, who identifies as transgender, a “man.”

Banks’ Twitter account was locked sometime after he referred to Levine as a “man” in an October 18 tweet.

“Twitter has censored @RepJimBanks for calling HHS’ Rachel Levine a man. He will be locked out of his account until he deletes the tweet, ‘The title of first female four-star officer gets taken by a man,’” Daily Signal reporter Mary Margaret Olohan tweeted on Saturday.
