It was just a matter of time.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene — the conspiracy-touting, gun-toting, fake info-spreading congresswoman from Georgia — has been permanently suspended from Twitter on Sunday for spreading COVID misinformation.

That means Greene, like President Donald Trump before her, can no longer access her personal account. If you try to pull it up now, you'll just see a message reading that the account is suspended. Twitter said that Greene has violated its five-strike policy on COVID misinformation, which means her account will be suspended forever.

"We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy," Twitter said in a statement.

In general, Greene has posted online like that family member nobody wants to come to Christmas. Naturally, she's played all the dangerous, false conspiracy theory hits during the pandemic. She's been suspended in the past for her anti-vax posts, but it wasn't clear what put her over the edge on Sunday.

For the most part, people online were pretty happy to see Greene go.

It's worth noting that Greene's official government account remains up. Still, it's only a matter of time before right-wing people get outraged over Greene's ban, almost certainly yelling about how it's dangerous for free speech. But Twitter has every right to keep people off its platform, especially when they spread lies about a disease that has killed millions.
