Twitter suspends former PA Congressman Lou Barletta with no reason provided: Former Representative of Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional District, Lou Barletta, found his personal Twitter account suspended. It was unclear what led to the suspension, but his last tweet before the suspension read: "I’m curious if those calling for the 25th amendment or impeachment are also filing their resignation papers? The same people called for uprisings but stayed silent for months while federal buildings were burned, police stations were over taken & small businesses were destroyed." Barletta moved to his verified @RepLouBarletta account, which he had not been using since he was defeated in the 2018 election, to complain about his suspension. He tweeted: "As a private citizen I am outraged & shocked that Twitter has decided to suspend my account. No one person or business should have the power to pick & choose what voices are heard. They can suspend my Twitter but they will not stop me from being a voice for the people of PA!" In a subsequent post he wrote: "Twitter silenced me because they don’t agree with my opinions? Every American should be terrified by this! Big Tech is choosing who has their First Amendment rights & who doesn’t." Twitter eventually released his personal @LouBarletta_PA account from suspension, but he announced that he is moving to his verified account with the hope that it is "harder to suspend a verified account."
