TL;DR Summary

Twitter has temporarily limited the official account of Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene after she made unfounded claims about the Nashville school shooting being a product of "Antifa" and "trans-terrorism." Greene accused Twitter of attempting to "whitewash the incitement of politically motivated violence" because it took down a previous post. Audrey Hale, the gunman in the Nashville shooting, was reportedly a transgender man who used he/him pronouns. Republican members of Congress and prominent far-right voices have seized on the fatal shooting to promote legislation targeting transgender people and bans on gender-affirming healthcare and attack trans people more broadly.
