Former President Donald Trump is suggesting that Twitter “shouldn’t be allowed to do business” in the U.S. after it permanently suspended the personal account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
In a statement on Monday, Trump said, “Twitter is a disgrace to democracy. They shouldn’t be allowed to do business in this Country. Marjorie Taylor Greene has a huge constituency of honest, patriotic, hard-working people.”
“They don’t deserve what’s happened to them on places like low-life Twitter and Facebook. Everybody should drop off of Twitter and Facebook. They’re boring, have only a Radical Left point of view, and are hated by everyone,” he continued.
Finally, Trump said, “They are a disgrace to our Nation. Keep fighting, Marjorie!”

On Sunday, Twitter permanently suspended Greene’s personal Twitter account after she tweeted a claim about “extremely high amounts of Covid vaccine deaths.”
In a statement posted on Telegram, the Georgia Congresswoman said, “Maxine Waters can go to the streets and threaten violence on Twitter, Kamala and Ilhan can bail out Black Lives Matter terrorists on Twitter, CNN and the rest of the Democrat Propaganda Media can spread Russia collusion lies, and just yesterday the Chief spokesman for terrorist IRGC can tweet mourning Soleimani.”
“But I get suspended for tweeting VAERS statistic,” she added.
Greene said on Monday that she was temporarily blocked from using her Facebook account as well.
Trump was permanently banned from Twitter after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, as IJR reported.
He has also been suspended from Facebook until at least Jan. 7, 2023. The company said it will only reinstate his account “if the risk to public safety has receded.”
