Donald Trump Jr. and Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, have been locked out of their Twitter accounts following the widespread hack that affected prominent Democrats and tech giants.

On Wednesday evening, Twitter accounts belonging to President Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and rapper icon Kanye West were among those hacked to send out a bitcoin scam to their millions of followers.

As part of its investigation, Twitter locked the accounts of those affected by the hack and temporarily also shut down tweets from millions of verified accounts.

C’mon President Trump, make the switch to Parler. Just do it! Let the twits twist in the wind.

I doubt I would notice if I’d been locked out of my account.

Is PDJT also locked out?
He has not tweeted anything since last night.

Agreed! He could still keep his Twitter account, but by also going to Parler, he could deal a serious blow to the fascists at Twitter while helping a true free-speech platform grow. I don't know what's keeping him from doing it. Eric Trump is already there. Every conservative who's ever complained about Twitter's unfair treatment of conservatives should be there. (Either that or don't complain.)

Twitter sent me an email in January 2017 informing me that my account had been hacked, and that they would lock it down until I followed the link to change my password. They included the two hacked tweets in the email.. different IP’s from different States, but both had the same ominous message “Great, that’s all there is to do.” I never went back on Twitter after that.

Time for them to migrate to Parler. Screw “twitter.”
