We’ve made it quite clear that U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who represents the folks just across the state line from Tennessee in Northwest Georgia, is not our favorite conservative Republican.
Her outright false statements, her twisting of the truth in other cases and her insults, to use every baby boomer’s mother’s phrase, just aren’t becoming for a member of the United States Congress.
But we had to roll our eyes at her permanent suspension from Twitter Sunday for what the company said was a violation of its COVID-19 misinformation policies.
Twitter is a private company, so it can make its own rules, interpret its rules and act on those rules. Within limits, we don’t want to tell a private company how to do its business.
But if the left-leaning company believes it’s going to silence the right-leaning politician by removing her from a social platform, it’s not as smart as we thought.
