Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says Facebook has temporarily suspended her, a day after Twitter ban

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she’s been kicked off another social media site.

The Georgia Republican said Monday that her Facebook account has been locked for 24 hours, calling it “beyond censorship of speech.”

“I’m an elected member of Congress representing over 70,000 US tax-paying citizens and I represent their voices, values, defend their freedoms, and protect the Constitution,” she said in a statement.

A spokesperson for Meta, Facebook’s parent company, told the Daily News Monday that one of Greene’s posts “violated our policies” and was removed, but would not specify the contents.

“Removing her account for this violation is beyond the scope of our policies,” the spokesperson said.

The alleged suspension comes just a day after Twitter permanently banned her for repeatedly spreading misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines.

“We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy,” a spokesman said in a statement to The News.

Greene again alleged a personal attack on her and her freedoms, calling it the start of a “Communist revolution.”
