Twitter suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's personal account for 12 hours, her office said in a statement on Friday.

A spokesperson for the Republican lawmaker told Insider that the social media platform provided "no explanation" for the lock, which kicked in at 1 a.m. ET.
The temporary ban comes as a slew of House Democrats attempt to expel Greene from Congress on Friday. The resolution, introduced by Rep. Jimmy Gomez of California, has been co-sponsored by 72 Democrats, including high-profile lawmakers Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
"In the dark of night, Twitter chose to silence a sitting member of Congress facing an unprecedented political attack by House Democrats," Greene's office said in its statement to Insider. "This move eliminated any possibility for Congresswoman Greene to defend her reputation, her seat, and most importantly the votes of 230,000 Georgians in the 14th District on the Twitter platform."
Gomez cited Greene's history of incendiary and racist comments as well as her past endorsement of conspiracy theories and political violence as reasons to boot her out of the legislative body. The House had previously rebuked the firebrand congresswoman in February for her controversial statements by stripping her from her assigned committees.
A super-majority - two-thirds of all Congress members - is required to expel a lawmaker from the House, making the move highly unlikely, as only 11 Republicans previously voted in support of removing Greene from her committees.
Twitter similarly suspended Greene's account for 12 hours in January based on "multiple violations" of its civic integrity policy. The social media company did not immediately return Insider's request for comment on the recent suspension.
On Friday, Greene's office accused Twitter of "assisting Democrats in their attempt to overturn the 2020 election of Congresswoman Greene and silence not only her voice, but the voice of the Georgians who sent her to Congress."
Before the lock, Greene sent out several tweets blasting Democrats for their resolution against her.

Typical 'cancel culture' DPST censorship addicts - anyone of a different opinion gets 'cancelled'!!

Green will be first on the first for AOC and her concentration camps for a boxcar ride.

and then shipped to the soylent green New Deal plant to'" Feed America'!!!!!

'Republicans Should Use Every Single Tool,' Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene Responds to 40 Republican Votes To Enable The Democrats' Hate America Agenda
March 10, 2021
Press Release

Washington D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene released the following statement on the roll call vote following her motion to adjourn to prevent Congress from passing the Democrats' $1.9 trillion Blue State Bailout:

"For the past year, most of America has been closed. If any place in America needs to close, it is Congress.

Every day that the House of Representatives is open is another day with the Democrats’ progressive wish list shoved down our throats:

$1.9 trillion to bail out Andrew Cuomo, Gavin Newsom, and other Democrats
Keeping our kids out of schools
Paying off teacher union bosses
Killing women’s rights with the so-called “Equality” Act
Funding Planned Parenthood and murdering God’s creation in the womb
Defunding the police and putting them on a national hit list
Federalizing our elections
Taking away our God-given Second Amendment rights
Denying the two genders: Male and Female
Eliminating Right to Work
Protecting Biden’s Open Border policies
Funding sanctuary cities
With the woke progressive fire hose spraying on and on and on, my Republican colleagues are constantly saying they want to stop the Democrats. But when the time comes to stop them, it’s business as usual for some.

As Republicans, we should use every single tool we have to stop this Hate America Socialist agenda. Every second, every hour, and every day we can stop radical Democrat policies, Republicans should do it.

That’s why I called for a motion to adjourn, to SHUT DOWN Congress and put a stop to the Democrats’ radical agenda.

Yet some Republicans are so annoyed at the inconvenience of voting, they are putting their personal schedules ahead of the wishes of the People who put them in office.

By voting against my motion to adjourn, some of my Republican colleagues are siding with the Democrats and enabling their policies that will destroy America.

These Republican votes are the 40 white flags of the Surrender Caucus."
