Rudy Giuliani and Turning Point USA have been temporarily banned from from Twitter for spreading false coronavirus information. This is another first for the president of the United States, as his attorney and supporters are both peddling fake news during a deadly pandemic.
According to CNN correspondent Oliver Darcy:
Twitter spox confirms to me that both @RudyGiuliani and @charliekirk11’s accounts were “temporarily locked for violating the Twitter Rules regarding COVID-19 misinformation.”

The now deleted tweet from Giuliani read:
When the tweet was later accessed, and error code read:
Turning Point USA also peddled the same fake news. Their tweet read:
There is no evidence that the anti-malaria drug being advertised by Trump and his goon squad in any way helps those inflicted with COVID-19, and in fact, one man even died while using the drug.
People on Twitter agree that Rudy Giuliani and Turning Point USA are deserving of much more than a temporary ban. Check out what people on Twitter are saying:
