Nineteen — that’s how many of Republican Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Twitter posts were slapped with an election misinformation warning label by the company on November 4.
Over the past few days, Greene has been spreading quite a few falsehoods on Twitter containing misinformation about election results and untrue claims of voter fraud and “stolen” elections.
Joe Biden Said On Video That Democrats Built the Biggest “Voter Fraud” Operation in History.
We’re seeing it on full display right now!

The Fake News Media wants you to believe that Joe Biden (who didn’t campaign AT ALL) isn’t involved in VOTER FRAUD.
He literally said he built the “BIGGEST” voter fraud organization in American history.

Twitter, as part of its new election policies, hides these tweets behind a warning label. They are still visible if a user clicks through, but the label helps throttle the spread of this misinformation.
Visiting Greene’s Twitter profile page results in quite a unique user experience.
“Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process,” reads the social media platform’s warning label.
In one day, this label appears on Greene’s tweets a whopping 19 separate times. For comparison, President Donald Trump, who has routinely found his posts subjected to this Twitter policy, has only had the warning label applied to eight of his tweets since Election Day.
A QAnon-supporting Republican Congressional candidate, Greene won her race in Georgia on Tuesday. QAnon believers claim that President Trump is waging a secret war against a global Satanic pedophile ring run by members of the Democratic Party and the Hollywood elite. Over the past few months, social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook have taken action against accounts that promote the QAnon conspiracy.
Greene’s electoral victory on Tuesday makes her one of two candidates who have supported QAnon that are headed to Congress next year. The other is Lauren Boebert of Colorado.
