Trump-backed Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has been banned from her Twitter account after posting “private information” on the platform, stemming from a tweet attempting to “expose” GOP opponent Karri Taylor Robson. In a July 17 video posted along with a tweet, the video titled “Lake Kari exposes her opponent’s despicable fundraising tactics” flashes a phone number that Twitter has deemed “private information.” Twitter spokesman Trenton Kennedy told the Daily Beast on Friday morning: “We took enforcement action on the account you referred to for violating Twitter’s Privacy Policy. Account owner [Kari Lake] will be required to delete the offending Tweet before full access to their account is regained.” Lake has since taken to Instagram to raise funds from her closed Twitter account ahead of a rally on Friday night with Donald Trump in Arizona.
