was suspended by Twitter on Tuesday for an attack on U.S. assistant secretary for health Rachel Levine, in which he repeatedly misgendered and deadnamed her.
The Turning Point USA founder tweeted on March 15 that Levine, a trans woman who transitioned in 2011, spent “54 years as a man” while deadnaming her: “He ‘transitioned’ to being a woman in 2011, Joe Biden appointed Levine to be a 4-Star Admiral and now USA Today has named ‘Rachel’ Levine as a ‘Woman of the Year,’” the right-wing blowhard sneered. “Where are the feminists???” A Twitter spokesperson confirmed to The Daily Beast that the platform “took enforcement action on the account” for violating its hateful conduct rules, which prohibits “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.”
The spokesperson added that Kirk will be required to delete the tweet and spend 12 hours in read-only mode before he can gain full access to his account.
Kirk’s violation came after right-wing satirical site Babylon Bee’s account was also locked for misgendering Levine by describing her as “The Babylon Bee’s Man Of The Year.”
The site’s CEO, meanwhile, has said the account will not delete the tweet in order to regain access.
has been called out by Jewish artist-activist Zoë Buckman for Holocaust denial as the conservative pundit falls further down an antisemitism rabbit hole.
In her Instagram story, Buckman, ex-wife of Friends star David Schwimmer, slammed Owens for suggesting that the reports of Nazi doctor Josef Mengele’s horrific experiments might be “propaganda.” According to Owens, who made the statements on her podcast, such experiments would’ve been a “waste of supplies.”
Page Six reported that Owens then responded Buckman’s post in a DM, saying “You guys really believe everything you read as long as you can play the victim.”
This comes after Owens was let go from The Daily Wire in March for antisemitic comments and disputes with the outlet’s founder Ben Shapiro over the war in Gaza.
In March, Owens continued to endorse unfounded claims that Emmanuel Macron’s wife, Brigitte, is secretly transgender.
Owens said, “I’m willing to stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man.”
