Twitter Suspends Account Of Washington State Republican Student Amid Far-Right Purges By Tech-Giant

A former Washington State University College Republicans student president received a bitter Christmas gift from Twitter amid ongoing far-right purges by the tech giant.

James Allsup revealed on Monday that the social media platform had suspended his account, @realjamesallsup – a nod to President Donald Trump’s Twitter handle.

“Merry Christmas!” he wrote in a Facebook post sharing a photo of the suspension notification.
