Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos has been suspended from Twitter once more just 20 minutes before his “Gays for Trump” event takes place at the Republican National Convention.
The justification for the suspension is currently unknown, although it could be as a result of Milo’s run-in with Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones on the site. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey publicly reached out to Jones late on Monday evening following her complaints of “abuse” on the platform.
BuzzFeed are reporting that the suspension is permanent, citing a statement from Twitter promising a clampdown on “targeted abuse.” Milo has also received a message from Twitter confirming that that his ban is permanent, copied below.
In a comment, Milo said “With the cowardly suspension of my account, Twitter has confirmed itself as a safe space for Muslim terrorists and Black Lives Matter extremists, but a no-go zone for conservatives.”
“Twitter is holding me responsible for the actions of fans and trolls using the special pretzel logic of the left. Where are the Twitter police when Justin Bieber’s fans cut themselves on his behalf?”
“Like all acts of the totalitarian regressive left, this will blow up in their faces, netting me more adoring fans. We’re winning the culture war, and Twitter just shot themselves in the foot.”
“This is the end for Twitter. Anyone who cares about free speech has been sent a clear message: you’re not welcome on Twitter.”

>> He’s making conservatism cool, and fabulous.
ROFLOL...
Don’t tweet, never will.
quite the opposite. they're hard core pro-homo, especially at the top
Milo goes by @Nero on Twitter. In the Breitbart article you can see it in the screen shots of his tweets.
"Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
Suspended Permanently? Sounds like an oxymoron to me. Perhaps they meant indefinitely.
Thinkin’ about changing mine as well. 14 years is a good run. ;o)
You would have to pay me to sit through that movie.
No, they're OK with gay, but he's conservative so that WAY more than cancels the positive gay points.
Conservatives are worse than mother rapers, father stabbers, father rapers, and hairy eyeballs! No amount of anything can ever cancel it. It is the unforgivable sin. It even makes Lucifer tremble.
Twitters stock has dropped 50% in the past year.
Check the state board in a few minutes. I’m bored.
YES!!
Did you see Hillary and Alinsky come up in Ben Carson's speech tonight? The lefties are all freaked out about that, too.
Good point!
Ailes can work with OAN. Hannity, VanSustren and O’Reilly move over. Use OANs Liz Wheeler on the Megyn slot. Cuter, nicer and genuinely conservative. Ledger at OAN could take the Shep Smith or Bret Baier slot and use Andrea T in like a five capacity.
I forgot Yanoppolis would be with Tantaros in the five equivalent show.
Not to defend Twitter, but please don’t think this creep is a conservative!

Sarah was great when she subbed on OANN.
The one thing I’ve grown so tired and weary of this past year of Presidential politics is people telling us who is and is not conservative.
Face it, the concept is evolving.
We’ve lost major portions of the culture war that will never, ever be rolled back. If you want to keep fighting against the invention of fire and the wheel, fine, keep screaming that fire and the wheel are evil.
Meanwhile Nero is almost point for point in lockstep with nationalist/populist conservatism that Trump has brought to the forefront.
He walked away from his own country to come here and tell us to not repeat what’s killing if hasn’t killed Britain.
Face it, the definition of conservative has changed this year.
Change with it.
‘Something in their brains must be spinning, trying to solve this dilemma.’
Good insight. Justifying censorship of a harmless Brit will cause the fools in leadership at Twitter to stress, strain and look for more beer.
