Late Friday night, the Twitter account of conservative blogger Robert Stacy McCain (@RSMcCain) was suspended, and #FreeStacy soon was trending.
Now, McCain’s book promo account has also been suspended:

What’s going on?

Before it was suspended, McCain tweeted on his backup account that there “has been no explanation” for the suspension of his main account.

@instapundit shocking that Twitter does this without telling the "offender" what rule they think he/she has broken.

This is getting ridiculous, Twitter. What about us little people that don't have armies prepared to defend? Nervous. https://t.co/SxrG9g98Bt
