President Donald Trump’s Twitch account is temporarily suspended from posting because of “hateful conduct,” Twitch said Monday.

Trump’s Twitch account is another social platform for his campaign to distribute videos, including rebroadcasts of older events and rallies. One of the offending videos was a recording of the now-infamous rally where Trump said Mexico was “sending rapists” to the United States.

Twitch told TheWrap, “Hateful conduct is not allowed on Twitch. In line with our policies, President Trump’s channel has been issued a temporary suspension from Twitch for comments made on stream, and the offending content has been removed.”

Dr. Disrespect Finally Breaks His Silence On Twitch Ban, Raises More Questions Than Answers

It’s been a weird week for the video game community. And I mean weirder than a normal week, which is usually already pretty strange.

Things kicked off with some startling accusations about Destiny 2 streamer SayNoToRage which quickly overflowed into a budding #MeToo movement that, within just a few days, has seen numerous streamers and video game developers fall from grace, including the director of Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and other Ubisoft executives.

Then, out of the blue, mega-Twitch streamer Guy “Dr. Disrespect” Beahm was banned, apparently permanently, for reasons that have yet to be made clear.

Twitch released a statement so generic it’s honestly not worth printing but I’ll do it anyways because we must do our journalistic duty even if giant corporations can’t be bothered with even the mildest scrap of transparency.
