James O’Keefe Unleashes After Twitter Purges Thousands of Conservative Accounts, Accuses Them of Being ‘Bots’

By: Cristina Laila

Twitter was set ablaze late Tuesday evening after the social media platform restricted and locked thousands of conservative, pro-Trump accounts.

Twitter users also experienced a huge drop in followers and used the hashtag #TwitterLockOut to discuss the purge.

A woman named Gretchen Smith tweeted a picture of herself Wednesday morning and said she is indeed a real person who founded ‘Code of Vets’ yet she was locked out and lost 3300 followers.

More users tweeted to each other asking if anyone else lost tons of followers at once.
