>The video call, which featured celebs like Jeff Bridges and Josh Groban, attracted nearly 200,000 supporters of Kamala Harris' presidential campaign.
The social platform Twitter, suspended a “White Dudes for Harris” account following a fundraising video call that attracted nearly 200,000 supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris’ run for the Oval Office.
The account, @dudes4harris, was suspended Monday night for violating Twitter rules “due to a user report,” according to a screenshot from Mike Nellis, one of the account’s operators. As of Tuesday morning, @dudes4harris was still suspended and “permanently in read-only mode.”
“We scared @elonmusk and @DonaldJTrumpJr so much tonight they suspended our account and won’t let us back in,” Nellis wrote on his own Twitter page, using the handles of Twitter owner Elon Musk and the son of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. “These guys are running scared of the success we’ve had tonight, but we’re not going to quit.”
Brett Meiselas, the co-founder of outlet MeidasTouch, shared on Twitter a photo of the suspended account, along with the message: "This is the real election interference."
Democratic commentator Mueller, She Wrote said: "The 'free speech absolutist' has now suspended White @dudes4harris. Presumably for raising $4M in a few hours. The fascists are terrified. Good."
Celebrities like Jeff Bridges, Josh Groban, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lance Bass, among others, joined the White Dudes for Harris fundraising call, which raised $4 million for Harris’ Democratic campaign. On Twitter, the White Dudes for Harris account describes itself as “Just a few dudes who support Kamala Harris.”
When contacted by Newsweek for comment, Twitter's press office responded: "Busy now, please check back later."
