Her personal Twitter account,\u201d Capehart began, reading the statement from Twitter on the subject.<\/p>\n<p><em>We permanently suspended the account you referenced (@mtgreenee) for repeated violations of our<a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitter.com\/en\/rules-and-policies\/medical-misinformation-policy\"> COVID-19 misinformation policy.<\/a> We\u2019ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd not to, you know, remain silent, Congresswoman Greene put out her own statement,\u201d Capehart continued. \u201cIt was a long one, you know, lots of conspiracy theories and craziness, but this is the key line: \u2018Twitter is an enemy to America and can\u2019t handle the truth. That\u2019s fine, I\u2019ll show America we don\u2019t need them and it\u2019s time to defeat our enemies.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Capehart then turned to Jayapal for her reaction to Greene\u2019s suspension and her statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, Jonathan, it\u2019s no secret that our social media companies have been part of their algorithms promoting disinformation, and I think that these steps are important, but frankly, a little too little and a little too late,\u201d Jayapal said. \u201cThe reality is it\u2019s not just Marjorie Taylor Greene. All over Twitter, social media, Facebook, all of these companies \u2014 have been using algorithms that are just about clickbait, not about truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so if we are going to take on the disinformation that\u2019s out there, the big lie and everything else that goes with it, then yes, this is a part of it but it\u2019s got to be much much more,\u201d Jayapal continued. \u201cThat said, I think it\u2019s just as well that we take one voice, you know, that is deliberately spreading disinformation, out of the mix as much as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others cheered Greene\u2019s removal from Twitter as well. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ananavarro\/status\/1477667047752491011\">Ana Navarro<\/a>, CNN contributor and regular host of ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View,\u201d shared an article about Greene\u2019s permanent suspension with the comment, \u201c2022 is showing promise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStar Trek\u201d actor <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GeorgeTakei\/status\/1477652380397277199\">George Takei<\/a> appeared to agree, adding, \u201cMarjorie Three Names has been suspended from Twitter, and 2022 is already off to a decent start.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN fact-checker <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ddale8\/status\/1477648620136669185\">Daniel Dale<\/a> noted that despite the suspension of Greene\u2019s personal Twitter account, her official congressional account has not been suspended.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeorgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene\u2019s 465K-follower personal Twitter account, the one she used to say lots of false things, has been permanently banned from Twitter. She still has a 386K-follower official account, which she has so far used for comparatively benign purposes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
