(850WFTL) — A couple of notable Twitter handles have been sprung from Twitter jail.


Roger Stone, Laura Loomer, Project Veritas and a host of other cancelled accounts were reinstated last night, thanks to new owner, Elon Musk.


Kanye West is still cancelled for tweeting anti-Semitic content.
Known primarily as an Islamophobic activist, Loomer once chained herself to Twitter HQ in an attempt to get unbanned. Loomer, despite being Jewish, is close to Nicolas Fuentes and called Kanye West during last week’s Alex Jones appearance.


In 2021, Twitter permanently blocked the account of James O’Keefe, the founder of the conservative group Project Veritas for “violating the Twitter Rules on platform manipulation and spam,” specifically that users cannot mislead others with fake accounts or “artificially amplify or disrupt conversations” through the use of multiple accounts, a Twitter spokesman said.
In a statement on his website, Mr. O’Keefe said, “This is false, this is defamatory, and they will pay.”
Roger Stone was banned from Twitter in 2017 for allegedly threatening CNN reporters. Wednesday he announced his triumphant return to the platform.

“I have just been informed that my personal Twitter account has been reinstated,” Stone wrote, adding that he would talk about it on a livestream of his show The Stone Zone. “I’m BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK,” he further bragged, attaching a photo of himself striking the V-for-Victory pose most often associated with his one-time boss and political mentor Richard Nixon.
