Recently, resistance darlings Ed and Brian Krassenstein deactivated their Twitter accounts, but sadly it was just a stunt that lasted only five hours.
This, however, doesn’t appear to be a stunt. What will they do if they can’t respond to every single one of President Trump’s tweets? It’s Armageddon!
NEW: Twitter has permanently banned prominent anti-Trump brothers Brian and Ed Krassenstein, alleging that two of the biggest stars of Resistance Twitter had broken the site’s rules about operating fake accounts and purchasing fake interactions https://t.co/9nTiSzzrsG

Twitter has permanently banned prominent anti-Trump brothers Brian and Ed Krassenstein, alleging that two of the biggest stars of #Resistance Twitter had broken the site’s rules about operating fake accounts and purchasing fake interactions with their accounts.
“The Twitter Rules apply to everyone,” a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement. “Operating multiple fake accounts and purchasing account interactions are strictly prohibited. Engaging in these behaviors will result in permanent suspension from the service.”
2. Reached by phone, the other Krassenstein brother, @kenklippenstein, who has been locked in a feud with his brothers for over a decade, told me he only had one thing to say:

I also learned recently that the Krassensteins took down that video of them singing about Mueller and loving the FBI 🙁

Aw … after writing the children’s book where “Robert Moral” was the bare-chested superhero?
So the Krassensteins were real?
Go figure.

Anyone who didn't know that they'd already been indicted before really hadn't done their homework. I blocked them a year ago.

It’s going to be so strange looking at Trump’s tweets and not seeing the muted replies at the very top.
— Ken Adams (@Elohssa412) May 23, 2019
Welp, there goes the response threads to EVERY SINGLE Trump tweet we all looked forward to

They are probably losing their minds! Twitter is all they had! #KarmaIsAwesome

They just need to hire Avenatti to get them out of this. LOL.

If one Krassenstein gets banned, does the other one feel his pain?
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) May 23, 2019
How about not calling them heroes of the resistance, Daily Beast. I’m guessing fair amount of resistance had them blocked or muted.
— Megan LeBlanc (@msmeganl) May 23, 2019
Yup.
— Casper Dean (@PencesAngryEyes) May 23, 2019
Many of us have had them blocked. They're the definition of nuisance.

We’re just getting started baby
— Calvin (@calvinstowell) May 24, 2019
This is funny. But to be honest, as a conservative, I would rather have all the voices on here so decisions could be made about which voice we would choose to follow.
— Caleb Box (@calebbox) May 24, 2019
True … but if Twitter is going to actually abide by its own rules now, that’s a start.
