President Trump has been permanently suspended from Twitter.
According to CNBC:
Twitter permanently suspended President Donald Trump’s account on Friday.
The decision came after Facebook made a similar call, extending an initial 24 hour suspension to an indefinite one that CEO Mark Zuckerberg said would last at least through the end of Trump’s term.
Trump first experienced temporary bans from both platforms on Jan. 6 in the midst of a riot where his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol as lawmakers proceeded with the formality of counting Electoral College votes. Many lawmakers and even former members of Trump’s administration criticized Trump for encouraging his supporters to reject the election results and protest at the Capitol. Congress later reaffirmed Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election.
As the riot unfolded, Trump tweeted messages encouraging non-violence, though he later released a video message that also reiterated his unsubstantiated claim that the election was stolen from him and told rioters “we love you.”
Twitter initially suspended Trump’s account for 12 hours Wednesday. [READ NEXT: Twitter Locks Trump Out of Account in Wake of Capitol Chaos]
