Twitter might not have Charles C. Johnson to kick around anymore.
The outlandish right-wing agitator’s Twitter account was suspended once again on Monday, the second time in a week he has been booted off the social media platform.
And just as he did a week ago, Johnson apparently earned the punishment for violating Twitter’s rules against posting private information, according to Little Green Footballs.
Johnson wrote to TPM later on Tuesday to say he isn’t sure that’s why he was suspended by Twitter this time around.
“Twitter isn’t providing any reason why I am suspended,” he said in an email. “They won’t say if it’s because of private information; they e (sic) just suspended me.”
Johnson’s account was suspended a week ago after he posted the street address of someone he said had been exposed to Ebola in Dallas. He apologized for violating Twitter’s rules and his account was restored shortly after it was suspended.
This post has been updated.

So he was suspended for violating rules and Twitter reinstated his account only to have him do it again.
Twitter seems to have lax rules that they don’t fully enforce. I have a feeling he’ll be back soon.
On another note, LGF is awesome to follow on Twitter. They have been relentless following Johnson and calling him out.
Sings of progress. TPM no longer refers to this douche nozzle as a “journalist.”
“Yes, Chuck Johnson Has Been Suspended From Twitter Again”
Yes! Chuck Johnson Has Been Suspended From Twitter Again!
FIFY
Next up: this little shit whining about free speech via Breitbart or something.
I follow the real Charles Johnson from LGF as well. Kickass is right, as well as frequently entertaining. He’s been fighting the good fight for years now, and deserves a lot of credit.
Some people—I’m not naming any names here—don’t seem to grasp there’s a difference between being a journalist and being a privacy-violating blabbermouth. The famous team of Barlett and Steele pored over the 1986 tax code for a year or more, looking for oddly particular tax breaks that turned out to be targeted to specific people for favors rendered. That’s journalism.
