In most cases, TOS are super-vague and allow to ban for things like "hateful conduct", without defining what it is. Criticizing anybody could be defined as "hateful conduct", and so is participating in any political controversy - after all, if you say some politician is a bad person and should never be elected, doesn't it mean you hate him?
So if you search for "twitter bans conservative", get literally dozens of results, you can always claim they are banned for "violating the TOS", not for expressing their views. And since there's almost never a specification of what caused the ban and no process that allows to know it, and frequently not even any notification beyond "you've been suspended, goodbye" there's no way to resolve this question (e.g. twitter suspended one of my accounts which I used to post completely innocent non-political non-offensive jokes, I still have no idea why and there's no process to find out, I don't care because I stopped using Twitter shortly thereafter anyway).
So you can always claim this is because all these people were racist, hateful and doxxing. I have no means to prove otherwise to you, there's no force in the Universe, beyond God Almighty and maybe NSA, that could prove particular twitter account never posted anything bad, especially after it's been blocked. But I can see the pattern. Especially when obvious hateful conduct on twitter (like a notorious antisemite Farrakhan) keep using Twitter for spreading their hate without any problems.
