Marjorie Taylor Greene, Banned From Twitter, Says ‘Twitter Is an Enemy to America’

Greene’s fatal error, as far as Twitter was concerned, was violating its COVID-19 “misinformation policies.” After the ban, Greene took to Gettr to skewer Twitter for its inconsistent and selective application of its own rules: as you might expect, Leftists get a pass.


The New York Times took the social media giant’s side, of course, explaining that “Twitter suspended Ms. Greene’s account after she tweeted on Saturday, falsely, about ‘extremely high amounts of Covid vaccine deaths.’ She included a misleading chart that pulled information from a government database of unverified raw data called the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, a decades-old system that relies on self-reported cases from patients and health care providers.”

The Times didn’t deign to explain why Greene’s chart was “misleading,” but it did claim that “the VAERS database, which is managed by the Food and Drug Administration and the C.D.C., has been cited in many coronavirus falsehoods to push the idea that side effects from the Covid-19 vaccines have been underreported. A spokeswoman for the F.D.A. declined to comment, but pointed to an overview of the VAERS database on the F.D.A.’s website that said VAERS reports ‘generally cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness.’”
