Leftists Rush to Kathy Griffin’s Defense After She Receives Twitter Ban For Impersonating Elon Musk

Leftists have rushed to comedian Kathy Griffin’s defense after she received a Twitter ban for impersonating Elon Musk.

As we previously reported, Griffin changed her Twitter name to Elon Musk and used Musk’s profile picture as her own as well.

Griffin then shared a series of tweets that apparently reflected her own personal political views, pretending to be Musk.

After her tweets went viral, Griffin’s account first received a “temporary restriction” before being permanently suspended.

Around that same time, Musk announced in a tweet, “Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying ‘parody’ will be permanently suspended.”

“Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning,” Musk explained.

Musk continued, “This will be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue.”

“Any name change at all will cause temporary loss of verified checkmark,” Musk added.

“Loud sarcastic Democrat” and verified Twitter user Tara Dublin responded to the move in a tweet, “The unfunniest person to ever host Saturday Night Live just suspended Kathy Griffin because he can’t take a joke.”

Dublin also shared a GIF from Musk’s SNL monologue where he jokingly asked, “Did you all think I was going to be a chill normal dude?”

“Jersey Dem” Twitter user “Jo,” who has a sizeable following, but no checkmark complained, “Dear Leader Musk suspended Kathy Griffin for making a joke, but Kanye West was reinstated after every company on the planet dropped his anti-Semitic a**. This is fucking bullsh*t.”

Actor Activist Rosanna Arquette lectured, “Kathy Griffin is a comedian and a fierce smart activist I guess there is no such thing as free speech after all on this site.”

It appears that leftists don’t like getting a taste of their own medicine and while they continue to threaten to leave the platform, the alternatives don’t offer the same experience, so it will be interesting to see how they proceed moving forward.
