The Georgia Republican faced disciplinary action "for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy," a Twitter spokesperson told CNN.

Greene had reportedly shared a graph showing the number of deaths that have allegedly occurred as a result of Covid vaccines, saying that the statistic was not getting enough coverage.

The congresswoman has a history of sharing misleading claims related to the coronavirus.

She faced temporary suspensions from Twitter in 2020 for calling into question the efficacy of vaccines and masks in preventing the spread of the virus.

Her personal account, under the name @mtgreenee, had over 465,000 followers before it was disabled.

Greene is still allowed to post under her official congressional account @RepMTG.

After the announcement of the suspension, Greene said in a statement, "Social media platforms can't stop the truth from being spread far and wide. Big Tech can't stop the truth. Communist Democrats can't stop the truth. I stand with the truth and the people."

"We will overcome!" she concluded.
