Amplifying a false story about Paul Pelosi should be enough but he's also called Kathy Griffin a bad comedian after banning her for changing her name.


Whether she is a good or bad comedian is an opinion and she wasn't banned for changing her name. She was banned for impersonation. Last year more than 500k accounts were banned for that. It's not new.

From the head of Trust & Safety:

"First, impersonation has always been banned on Twitter. Misleading profiles make Twitter worse for everyone. Last year, we banned more than half a million accounts for impersonating people and brands."
