Conservative radio host Mark Levin announced he has left Twitter after the platform permanently suspended President Trump.
“I have suspended my own Twitter account in protest against Twitter’s fascism,” Levin tweeted Friday following the news that President Trump’s account was being permanently suspended over concerns of “inciting violence.”
“I ask all my followers to join me now on Parler and Rumble,” Levin added, encouraging his followers to join two other popular conservative platforms — both owned by radio host Dan Bongino.

“After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” Twitter said in a statement.
Twitter cited the violent clash on Wednesday between some supporters of Trump and Capitol Hill police that ultimately left several people dead and many politicians on both sides of the aisle blaming Trump.
Also on Friday, dozens of prominent conservatives on Twitter cried foul after losing hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of followers in a move that Twitter says was simply a result of their policies on spam.
