Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' press secretary received a 12-hour Twitter suspension Friday after she repeatedly called out a reporter at the Associated Press for writing a story that she referred to as a "hit piece."
Christina Pushaw tweeted at AP reporter Brendan Farrington several times on Tuesday over his story headlined, "DeSantis top donor invests in COVID drug governor promotes." Farrington, who has since made his Twitter private, said he received threats from other users after Pushaw criticized him for his article.
Incoming AP CEO Daisy Veerasingham sent a letter to DeSantis' office following the incident on Twitter, accusing Pushaw of threatening Farrington and "activating" an online mob against him.

Yo Brendan. Lying has consequences. Put the lie out there and you best expect some pushback. Pansy.
Some are not allowed to defend themselves against slander
So, the press wants you to ensure DONORS do not promote what you promote.
...and the Taliban...
I only became interested in Twitter after Donald Trump used it as his bully pulpit. The day those Communists took that away from him was the same day I ended my account.
It ASTOUNDS me that our side, particularly people like Rand Paul, have NO PROBLEM with the government using Twitter, Facebook, and others to silence conservatives.
And we wonder why we’re getting our asses kicked...
So, when Schumer praises Planned Parenthood, none of his donors better invest into them!
That is the standard trying to be set by this AP reporter
Censorship destroys trust.
Me too, I only went there for the Trump Tweets, when those stopped there was no reason to go there.
Mob, like with pitchforks and ropes? These idiots think they are in peril if anybody says a mean word to them. They really don't have sense enough to know the mob can be silenced with a simple click of an on/off button.
Can you imagine how ugly this would get if organizations like Twitter had a well known brick and mortar presence?
Honestly, there needs to be a viable Twitter rival.
Saw this unfold yesterday. She did nothing wrong,other than standing up to a lying ap piece by some intern.
Twit sux.
Twitter is and always has been a sewer for progressives and communists (I repeat myself, sorry). I have never and will never use it. I rely on FRiends to pass me Twitter’s latest outrage because it may interest them and me. For them I am grateful.
But if she were executing some civilians in Afghanistan she would be fine.
It’s a badge of honor when gestapo thugs drop you from their ‘acceptable’ list.
Why can’t Congress create a government form of Twitter? They can create hundreds of unconstitutional depts, orgs, and agencies but are beholden to a bunch of Silicon Valley brats who want to control what people say. This is crazy.
But, but, but pedo joe said nobody is killing anybody in Dumbassistan.
