She is still an elected member of congress, and from what I hear - a rather popular one, regardless of her "tinfoil hatery". Opposition parties should _never_ have the power to just expel people they don't like from the opposing side. I'm sure it's purely coincidence she is locked from her twitter account on the same day that congress will be voting on a resolution on whether or not to expel her.

> Article 1, Section 5, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution addresses the question of what is required to expel a person from Congress. It states: “Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behavior, and, with the Concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member.” If it’s in the constitution, especially if the founding fathers put it in, it can become popular with Americans.

Shes has only been removed from twitter for spreading false information. Her free speech has not been violated.

  She was only only suspended for 12 hours, and Twitter is doing damage control saying it was their automated system that messed up. I don't believe them.

Free speech is not concerned with a person's ability to spew and regurgitate bs in private platforms and I see no reason to give her preferential treatment over anyone else.

  freedom of speech protections exist to protect against this exact sentiment. You can't just silence everyone you disagree with. They have their right for 'spewing' their 'bs' just like you have for 'spewing' yours. And it's not up to you, me or Twitter to decide which opinions are right or wrong.

    They can go in a public place to do, e.g. press conferences and so on. Any person has the right to dictate a mode of conduct on their platform and penalize individuals who do not follow said code. Why should I be paying for bandwidth and host the content of any individual who does not follow my rules in my platform? I provide a service and I have the right to dictate who gets to use it. The senator can go spew her homophobia, conspiracy theories and racism in a public space, nobody prevents her, but I certainly wouldn't provide a platform for her and her ilk.

    > freedom of speech protections exist to protect against this exact sentiment. Sorry, but that's plainly false. No legal scholar will agree with you.

Surely you could see that correlation as a pattern of questionable behavior finally biting her and not some conspiracy between the liberal elite and Twitter.
