The suspension drew outrage from conservatives like Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), whose suspension weeks ago prompted Elon Musk to change Twitter’s rules.
Lee’s last tweet before being suspended shared an article from conservative media outlet The Federalist defending open debate about American support for Ukraine in its war with Russia, along with the comment: “It’s not exactly a sign of a healthy democratic discourse that it’s virtually impossible to ask a critical question about the United States’ role.
It’s not clear if all his former followers will have to manually re-follow the account or if Twitter will automatically restore them at some point.The suspension sparked outrage from numerous conservatives on Twitter, including Daines, who compared it to his own suspension last month. Daines’ account was briefly taken down after he changed his profile picture to a photo of himself and his wife posing with an antelope they killed on a hunt.
