A former Vox Journalist lamented on Twitter following a suspension of his social media account this week.
Recently, Aaron Rupar whined to a reporter during an exclusive interview regarding his recent Twitter suspension.
Rupar explained how “disconcerting” it was for him that his account was suspended, considering that he’s “an independent journalist who does a newsletter business that basically operates on Twitter.”
“Last night [I was] pretty dismayed at first, like, wow, I’m really going to have to reassess how I make a living. It’s taken me a decade to build 800,000 followers on Twitter. Not only that but I’ve been doing video work, painstakingly doing video threads of hearings, debates, speeches, Trump rallies, all sorts of different events. To lose that, it’s like, there goes my work for years and years. It just disappeared suddenly.” Rupar lamented.

“When you’re running a newsletter business, you do the math on if you have 800,000 followers and you can convert even 1-2% of those into newsletter subscribers, then you’re off to a pretty good start, right? When I left Vox over a year ago now, that was the math I was doing in my head. But when you lose [those followers], you’re starting from scratch on all these different platforms,” he added.
Rupar is known for allegedly deceptively edited videos and posting false captions on non-edited videos.
Previously, Rupar made an alleged false claim regarding the murder of Asian workers in Atlanta.
“At a news conference, a law enforcement official says early indications are that Atlanta-area mass shooter Robert Aaron Long may have been motivated by issues stemming from “sexual addiction,” not racism — but he cautions that the investigation is in an early stage,” the independent journalist said.
“Yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did” — a law enforcement official explains Robert Aaron Long’s decision to kill 8 people in a strange manner,” Rupar added.
He suggested that the police spokesman implied sympathy for the perpetrator which ignited public outcry which was debunked by some news media outlets.
“The full video (the relevant section starts at about 13:50) makes clear that Baker was not providing his own commentary, but rather summarizing what Long had told the investigators. The “bad day” line was proceeded by a clarification that this was Long’s own explanation, as related to the police. Baker did not endorse it,” the Gateway Pundit explained.
