Missouri US Senate candidate suspended from Twitter after anti-transgender post

U.S. Rep. Vicky Hartzler’s Twitter account was suspended on Monday for violating the platform’s rules against hateful conduct, according to one of Hartzler’s top campaign advisers.

Hartzler’s account was suspended over a tweet in which she said “women’s sports are for women, not men pretending to be women.”

On her Twitter page, the post is hidden behind a notice saying it violated the site’s rules. Several other tweets targeting a collegiate swimmer who is transgender remain on her page.
