NEW YORK —
Twitter says it has completely banned Newsmax White Home correspondent Emerald Robinson from its service for repeated violations of its COVID-19 misinformation coverage.
The social media firm had earlier given Robinson a one-week ban for sending out a message to “Christians” that falsely claimed that COVID-19 vaccines contained a bioluminescent marker referred to as Luciferase that permits folks to be tracked.
Newsmax subsequently took her off the air for an investigation.
On Tuesday, Robinson briefly returned to social media, tweeting that “I am again … on Twitter no less than” and linking to an article she had written on Substack in regards to the supposed marker. A Twitter spokesman mentioned Thursday her account had been completely banned.
Newsmax, which says it strongly helps the vaccine and urges its viewers to get the immunization, mentioned it’s reviewing Robinson’s case. The community mentioned Tuesday that “we have now no anticipated date she’s going to return.”
