. . .which, in the past, has led to Twitter taking action their other targets:
This happens pretty regularly.
The ADL or SPLC will hit somebody and their target will get banned from social media shortly after.https://t.co/f9dMoE7Rtp

As for how this is playing with Republican politicians, Ohio GOP Senate candidate J.D. Vance was quick to call out Twitter (and tech companies in general) for censoring Fuentes but he also called him a “giant troll”:
Nick Fuentes has been a giant troll (and IMO dishonest) in his attacks against me. Don’t care.
Tech companies control what we’re allowed to say in our own country. It has to stop. pic.twitter.com/lmSSzsDnxx

And Vance tweeted that he “can’t get over how many weak-willed ‘conservatives’ defend the right of ‘private companies’ to censor US citizens. Wake up”:
I can’t get over how many weak-willed “conservatives” defend the right of “private companies” to censor US citizens. Wake up.
