Trump calls Twitter a 'disgrace to Democracy', slams 'low-life' Facebook and tells his fans to stop using both platforms after Marjorie Taylor Greene's ban

Donald Trump tore into Twitter and Facebook in a late Monday statement after the social media giants banned accounts linked to firebrand GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.

On Sunday Twitter announced it had permanently suspended Greene's personal account for spreading COVID-19 misinformation, though she still retains access to her official Congressional handle.

The next day, Greene said Facebook suspended her account for a 24-hour period.

Trump, whose own accounts on the platforms were banned following the Capitol riot on January 6 of last year, urged his supporters to cease using both and called for a ban on their United States-based operations.

'Twitter is a disgrace to democracy. They shouldn’t be allowed to do business in this Country,' the ex-president said through his Save America PAC.

'Marjorie Taylor Greene has a huge constituency of honest, patriotic, hard-working people. They don’t deserve what’s happened to them on places like low-life Twitter and Facebook.

'Everybody should drop off of Twitter and Facebook. They’re boring, have only a Radical Left point of view, and are hated by everyone. They are a disgrace to our Nation. Keep fighting, Marjorie!'

Last February Twitter said Trump's access to his account there, his favored way of reaching supporters which also became a daily source of news headlines, would not be restored even if he took back the White House.

Facebook reached a decision in June to limit Trump's suspension there to two years.

Trump's call for his supporters to drop the platforms comes months after he announced the creation of his own social media venture, TRUTH Social, which the ex-president said is scheduled to launch in early 2022.

Greene meanwhile has joined Gettr, a relatively new social media platform created by former Trump adviser Jason Miller. The fallout from her Twitter ban resulted in more than 230,000 people joining the free speech site in a single day, Gettr said in a release.

On Sunday, the Georgia Republican's spokesman shared her response to Twitter, which she posted on messaging app Telegram.

'Twitter is an enemy to America and can’t handle the truth. That's fine, I’ll show America we don’t need them and it’s time to defeat our enemies,' Greene said.

Wow! This guy let it rip

A Belgian plastic surgeon has been jailed after telling students that women 'don't want to open their legs any more' in a university lecture.

Jeff Hoeyberghs, 60, was given a ten-month prison sentence, half of which is suspended, after the extraordinary 2019 rant in which he said women exist to 'satisfy men sexually and perform household chores'.

The TV surgeon, who is qualified in the UK, had been invited to speak by the University of Ghent and the Catholic Flemish Students' Union, with his comments prompting a barrage of complaints.

Judges said the sentence plus an €8,000 fine were merited because he incited discrimination, hatred and violence against women and refused to back down.

He has maintained he was speaking the 'truth' and claimed his freedom of speech is being denied.

In the two-hour lecture to the postgraduate students, Hoeyberghs said: 'Women want the privileges of male protection and money, but they do not want to open their legs anymore.

'We have given women dishwashing machines and cleaning ladies, until they themselves became superfluous.

'You cannot treat a woman like an equal without becoming her slave.'

The surgeon added that women are 'hysterical, lazy, weak, stupid' and 'dirty creatures, who seek money and protection from men to whom they owe sex', comparing them to 'animals with udders'.

He even targeted specific female students in the auditorium with insults, as well as teenage activist Greta Thunberg, saying women were 'worthless' in high profile jobs such as doctors, judges, teachers and scientists.

The surgeon told one PhD student she was just 'blue eyes and t*ts', while another was 'a fine example of how things go wrong'.

He added women 'always let emotions get in their way' and said prisons, psychiatric wards and rehab centres are 'filled with children of single mothers'.
