In response, Twitter told congressional lawmakers that they had temporarily restricted some of their account functions for violating the rules.

Because she allegedly broke the rules, Twitter restricted Greene to only direct messages to her followers. She was not allowed to tweet, retweet, follow, or like posts.
The suspension lasted seven days, and the countdown was set to begin once Greene deleted the tweet that broke the rules.
“This is a lie,” she tweeted while tagging @TwitterSafety, a Twitter contributor and Elon Musk. “My congressional account was suspended for 7 days for exposing Antifa organizing a call for violence called ‘Trans Day of Vengeance.’ The day after the mass murder of children by a trans gunman. Recover my account immediately.”

Greene then tweeted that the clerk claimed no one received a “strike” for warning Americans about the violence planned at the Supreme Court, even though her account was suspended for seven days.
On Wednesday, Greene’s account was restored after being suspended for just a few hours.
“Yesterday my official Twitter account was suspended for warning the Supreme Court about Antifa’s Trans Revenge Day,” she tweeted. “This planned event will be whitewashed by global brands and the left. Meanwhile, there is still no acknowledgment of the innocent Christians slaughtered by a trans mass gunman in Tennessee.”
Green could not be reached for comment, and Twitter did not immediately respond to questions on the matter.
