The @WarRoomPandemic account, named after the online show, has been "permanently suspended for violating Twitter rules, particularly our policy on glorifying violence," Twitter said in a statement.

YouTube removed the episode from “Steve Bannon's War Room” for the same reasons, which was still active around 5:30 p.m. KST.
