Twitter deleted my entire account and to this day still has not given me a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">\u201cSo, I made my podcast account, which is what I was using to post my reporting coverage,\u201d she said, \u201cand they took it down for \u2018ban evasion.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Hernandez believes <em>what<\/em> she was reporting is what really triggered the ban. Reporter Andy Ngo showed her tweets of Antifa accounts targeting her account \u201cbecause I was \u2018drumming up hate of Lia Thomas,&#8217;\u201d Hernandez told The Daily Wire. \u201cSo I think it was more targeted if anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">\u201cTwitter didn\u2019t highlight any tweets that I was suspended for, both back in 2020 and now,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">In one example, Hernandez <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-virginia-tech-swimmer-bravely-speaks-out-against-biological-man-lia-thomas-says-teammate-brought-to-tears\">interviewed<\/a> a Virginia Tech swimmer who told the reporter her teammate was brought to tears after she was bumped out of the NCAA finals due to Lia Thomas\u2019 inclusion in women\u2019s swimming. Thomas, a biological male who used to compete against men, handily took first place in the women\u2019s 500-yard freestyle.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">\u201cShe was very emotional, and it\u2019s hard to see because it\u2019s her last NCAAs; she really loves that race, and it was just heartbreaking that she put all of her efforts into it today \u2026 one of the best times that\u2019s she went in a morning session and still not make it back,\u201d the Virginia Tech swimmer told Hernandez. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to see someone who works every day and every night still not be able to compete against someone like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Captioning an image of the swimmer, Hernandez slammed Twitter for its ban.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is who Twitter silenced when they deleted my podcast account,\u201d she wrote. \u201cNot me. The brave NCAA athletes who have been speaking out against Lia Thomas. I spoke to this athlete and she was scared to put her entire swimming career on the line but she was still brave enough to expose the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not upset that I\u2019ve been silenced. I\u2019m upset that these young, brave women have been silenced. That the insanity of the LGBTQ community has been once again deleted,\u201d Hernandez said. \u201cTwitter deleting national news is not okay.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CbYDOTaO-HF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>In another Instagram post, she wrote, \u201cMy message to the LGBTQ community.\u00a0To the Democrats.\u00a0To the WEF.\u00a0To Dr. Fauci.\u00a0To the abortion industry.\u00a0To the climate change activists.\u00a0To the COVID cultists:\u00a0I will never EVER stop exposing you and no matter how hard you try I will continue to elevate the voices in this country that the media tries to silence.\u00a0To big tech, we won\u2019t let you win.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CbYRiT9uzZK\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\"><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-virginia-tech-swimmer-bravely-speaks-out-against-biological-man-lia-thomas-says-teammate-brought-to-tears\">WATCH: Virginia Tech Swimmer Speaks Out Against Lia Thomas Swimming In Women\u2019s Event, Says Teammate Brought To\u00a0Tears<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
