Twitter has restored the account of Rep. Elise Stefanik’s (R-N.Y.) communications director after briefly suspending it in “error,” although the press aide, Karoline Leavitt, insists it was a “purge in their ongoing effort to silence conservatives voices.”
The account of Leavitt, who served as an assistant White House press secretary in the Trump administration, went offline on May 5, prompting Stefanik—her current boss—to accuse the social media company of “unconstitutional overreach” and of silencing “our voices and freedom of speech.”
