Twitter temporarily restricted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's congressional account after she repeatedly posted a graphic referring to a “Trans Day of Vengeance” that received over 5,000 tweets and retweets.
, Twitter decided to restrict the graphic from being shared but with “no impact to users for having tweeted it” unless it was “reposted after removal or was posted with additional calls for violence/ wishes of harm.”
Greene’s office shared a copy of the deleted post and Twitter’s communication with her but did not respond to a request for additional comment. Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday evening. Irwin said "a high number of users" reported the graphic Monday, most likely "due to heightened sensitivity to the language, given the tragic events in Nashville," where six people, including three children, were gunned down at a Christian elementary school.
Nashville police said the shooter was Audrey Hale, whom they identified as a transgender former student of The Covenant School. Hale, 28, was killed by police.amid an intensifying battle waged by some conservatives against transgender people. Greene has been a vocal critic of transgender rights on Capitol Hill. During her first year in Congress, she placed a sign outside her office
