Washington (CNN) Twitter suspended the account of President Donald Trump's longtime associate Roger Stone this weekend following a series of derogatory and threatening tweets from Stone to CNN personalities. Stone has known Trump for decades and is a reliable supporter of his political movement. For his part, Stone seemed to relish the attention the suspension got, writing , "I guess you have really arrived when your brief suspension on Twitter is national news." Stone's suspension comes more than a year after another high-profile Trump supporter, Milo Yiannopoulos, was banned from Twitter. Many Twitter users decried the decision to suspend McGowan and sparked the widely used hashtag #WomenBoycottTwitter.
