According to Jack Posobiec, Mitchell first received a 7-day ban for tweets talking about ‘mask dangers,’ then was using a second account to tweet during the ban, and had his main account permanently suspended.
Conservative pundit Bill Mitchell has been permanently suspended from Twitter, the social media platform confirmed to The Hill on Saturday.
“[Mitchell] has been permanently suspended for violating the Twitter Rules by using one account to evade the suspension of another account,” a Twitter spokesperson said in an email.
Mitchell confirmed the suspension in a post on social media app Parler, though asserted he was booted from Twitter over his stance on wearing a mask amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Twitter just suspended me for opposing masks. Who knows if I’ll ever be back,” Mitchell said. “I’m sure their decision wasn’t political at all.”
