Twitter says it suspended him in error:

Well, North Carolina David — a Trump supporter — has been suspended by Twitter for impersonating the Florida David Hogg:
Help! David Hogg, yes, the REAL David Hogg @realdavidhogg, has been suspended for 'impersonating' @davidhogg111. Of course this is a mistake & David wrote Twitter. Below is their response.

WTF Twitter?
And here’s a message from North Carolina David asking for help from President Trump, among others, to get his account reinstated, which needs to be done IMMEDIATELY:
