Years before winning her seat in the House of Representatives, Green promoted the conspiracy theories of the far-right movement QAnon, which places the President of the United States, Donald Trump, as the last bastion against a clique of pedophiles associated with the Democratic Party.

At the beginning of the month, the aforementioned social network also permanently suspended Trump’s official account, who had made this tool his main communication platform.
Twitter justified its closure by claiming that the president of the United States was encouraging with some of his messages those who went to the Capitol. A measure that was followed by Facebook and Instagram, who also canceled Trump’s profiles on these platforms.
