RENO, Nev. — The Twitter account of Captain Sam Brown (ret.), a Purple Heart Veteran and Nevada U.S. Senate candidate, was "permanently suspended" for 6 hours Monday morning without warning or cause.
"Big Tech is waging an all out attack on conservative voices — using unequally applied 'rules' to censor or suspend anyone they disagree with. This summer they censored my tweets as 'potentially sensitive content.' This morning, they suspended my account without warning or cause. Big Tech knows their days of one-sided censorship and divisive influence are numbered with conservative voices like me in the Senate," Captain Sam Brown told FOX News. "I will not back down from this fight - Twitter has messed with the wrong soldier. As someone who has been targeted multiple times by Twitter's censorship regime, this issue is now personal to me: it's clear that decisive action must be taken immediately to rein in Big Tech and the partisan elites who run them."
The suspension came less than 24 hours after Brown tweeted that American families were tired of being told, by an unelected bureaucrat, whether or not they could celebrate Christmas. In a separate tweet immediately before, Brown commented on reining in Big Tech. A screenshot of Brown's final two tweets before the suspension is available here.
This isn't the first time that Twitter has censored Capt. Sam Brown's content. In July 2021, Twitter censored and applied a "sensitive content" label to an image of a still-recovering Capt. Brown saluting the American flag.
The repeated censoring of his account has raised suspicious that Twitter is unfairly targeting the Republican U.S. Senate candidate. Twitter has also repeatedly rejected the campaign's numerous attempts to verify the account, even though it is the most followed account of any U.S. Senate candidate in Nevada.
At 10:25am PST on Monday, Brown's Twitter account was reinstated.
Captain Sam Brown (ret.) is a Purple Heart Veteran running for U.S. Senate in Nevada. In 2008, his humvee hit a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Brown suffered severe injuries and spent the next three years in recovery and rehabilitation. He lives in Reno with his wife and three children, where he owns a small business that provides critical medical services to Veterans.
