There is currently no specific tweet cited for the suspension, although there is speculation that the suspension is the result of him calling out far left poster-child David Hogg.
I don’t support many of #OwenBenjamin’s garbage thoughts, but I certainly support his right to spew them. @Twitter is a place for EVERYONE’S garbage thoughts, not just Liberal garbage thoughts.
