Twitter suspends account linked to boosting MAGA teens controversy

Twitter has suspended an account which was linked to the magnification of a confrontation between high school students wearing MAGA hats and Native American protesters.

According to CNN, the account @2020fight was suspended from the social media platform after it shared a captioned video of the encounter on Jan. 18 in Washington D.C., where both the Indigenous Peoples March and the anti-abortion March For Life were taking place. 

Groups from both, as well as a handful of protesters linked to the Black Hebrew Israelites, converged near the Lincoln Memorial.
