QAnon Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene suspended from Twitter ‘by mistake’ after she tweeted ‘He is risen’ on Easter Sunday
CONSPIRACY theorist Congresswoman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was “accidentally” suspended from Twitter after writing “he is risen” on Easter Sunday.
But the outspoken Georgian Republican has insisted the apparent error “was no mistake” and hit out at Twitter for attempting to silence her.
“@Twitter suspended me again by ‘mistake’ yesterday after I tweeted, ‘He is risen,” Greene wrote on Monday, after regaining access to her account.
“Everyone knows that’s a LIE, and it was no mistake.”
Greene then said she was “curious” to know whether the social media platform had every suspended Islamic leader Louis Farrakhan by mistake, or “any of his followers that want to kill police?”
The congresswoman, who has in the past promoted violence against Democrats and conspiracy theories about QAnon and the 9/11 attacks, was unable to post to her account during the hours-long suspension.
It’s the second time she’s mistakenly been locked out her account in three weeks.
Prior to the latest ban, Greene had tweeted about Easter and retweeted a post about abortion.
Twitter confirmed the suspension was a mistake made by one of its automated systems.
“We use a combination of technology and human review to enforce the Twitter Rules across the service,” the San Francisco company said in a prepared statement. “In this case, our automated systems took enforcement action on the account referenced in error.”
Greene’s account was suspended for about 12 hours last month in what the company also said was a mistake.
Twitter declined to respond publicly when asked why Greene’s account had been affected by the glitch twice, and whether other accounts had been affected.
Greene, who has nearly 400,000 Twitter followers, has said most of her most controversial posts were written before she was elected, and that she no longer supports QAnon, the baseless belief that former President Donald Trump waged a secret battle against a cabal of satanic child-molesting cannibals.
In her tweet referencing Farrakhan, Greene appeared to be alluding to an attack in DC on Friday that saw Noah Green ram two Capitol Police officers with his far, killing one, before being shot dead.

Months prior, Green had pledged himself to be a “follower of Farrakhan” and filed to change his second name to Muhammed.
He was shot dead by police at the scene after getting out from the car and lunging at cops with a knife.
One of the officers struck remains in hospital in a stable condition.
A second, William Evans, tragically died hours after the attack unfolded.
