Twitter limits Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward's account for spreading COVID-19 misinformation
witter has "temporarily limited" the account features of Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward after determining she violated its policy on spreading misleading and "potentially harmful" information about the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision by Twitter came after she shared the viral video of a group of physicians making false and misleading comments about the pandemic. Twitter's decision to limit Ward's account came after the social media giant also punished Donald Trump Jr. for posting the same video.
Ward, a physician, has downplayed the severity of the virus's spread in Arizona, even as caseloads skyrocketed and the state spiraled into a national hot spot.
The Arizona Republican Party drew attention to Twitter's decision with a tweet Tuesday that accused the platform of engaging in "Election interference!"
