Twitter says it suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s (R-Ga.) account “in error.”
Earlier on Sunday, Greene tweeted an Easter message, “Happy Easter, everyone! He is risen!”

Her account was later briefly suspended. In a statement, the company confirmed that it suspended Greene’s account. However, it said the move was done “in error.”
“We use a combination of technology and human review to enforce the Twitter Rules across the service. In this case, our automated systems took enforcement action on the account referenced in error. This action has been reversed, and access to the account has been reinstated,” the statement read.
Despite Twitter’s explanation for the temporary suspension, Greene claimed, “[Twitter] suspended me again by ‘mistake’ yesterday after I tweeted, ‘He is risen.”
She added, “Everyone knows that’s a LIE, and it was no mistake. Curious if Twitter has ever suspended [Louis Farrakhan] by mistake? Or any of his followers that want to kill police?”

In March, Greene was blocked from tweeting, re-tweeting, or liking posts for 12 hours.
However, hours later the suspension was reversed.
In a statement at the time, the company said, “We use a combination of technology and human review to enforce the Twitter Rules across the service. In this case, our automated systems took enforcement action on the account referenced in error. This action has been reversed, and access to the account has been reinstated.”
