A social-media account for white male supporters of Kamala Harris was briefly suspended from X, formerly Twitter, sparking anger online.
Newsweek observed that the White Dudes for Harris X account had been temporarily suspended after the group held a star-studded virtual call on Monday night that raised more than $4 million.
It is not clear why the account was suspended, but it appeared to have been restored as of the early hours of Tuesday. The automated message when the account was suspended read: “X suspends accounts which violate the X rules.”
Mike Nellis, who is involved in the organization, shared an update on Tuesday explaining that while the X account is live again, it still remains suspended.

In response to the suspension, Ross Morales Rocketto, an organizer for the group, wrote, “Got @elonmusk [X owner] scared.”
Brett Meiselas, the co-founder of outlet MeidasTouch, shared on X a photo of the suspended account, along with the message: “This is the real election interference.”
You’re half right, I think it’s more so like minded white guys can come together with other non-racist non-sexist men like them. Rather than them virtue signaling that they aren’t either of those things it’s a space where they can be with their own kind and not expect a racist/sexist or two in the mix - which is kind of nice for a change.
When I think of a random assortment of white guys theres always someone with a Molon Labe tattoo or a Proud Boys hoodie in their closet and that’s really the turd in the punch bowl when it comes to the male white sort of people. I have no experience with the WDFH group but that is my impression.
