Twitter suspends former PA Congressman Lou Barletta's account
Harrisburg, PA — Former Pennsylvania Representative Lou Barletta expressed from a separate Twitter account after the social media platform suspended his account.
"As a private citizen I am outraged & shocked that Twitter has decided to suspend my account. No one person or business should have the power to pick & choose what voices are heard. They can suspend my Twitter but they will not stop me from being a voice for the people of PA!"

On Friday, Twitter banned President Donald Trump's account, citing “the risk of further incitement of violence.”
In a second tweet, Barletta says, "Twitter silenced me because they don’t agree with my opinions? Every American should be terrified by this! Big Tech is choosing who has their First Amendment rights & who doesn’t."
It was not clear exactly why his account is suspended or whether the move will be permanent.
Barletta is the former Representative of Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional District, serving from 2011 to 2019.
