Owen Benjamin, a conservative actor and comedian, was permanently suspended from Twitter. When attempting to access his account, which boasted over 120,000 followers, users are met with the message “This account has been suspended.” Benjamin was considered “controversial” by some for his belief that children should not be subjected to hormone therapy.
Taking to Facebook, the comedian confirmed that “Both twitter accounts suspended and now my ability to make an income has been revoked.”

There is currently no specific tweet cited for the suspension, although there is speculation that the suspension is the result of him calling out far left poster-child David Hogg.
I don’t support many of #OwenBenjamin’s garbage thoughts, but I certainly support his right to spew them. @Twitter is a place for EVERYONE’S garbage thoughts, not just Liberal garbage thoughts.
