The NY Post editor is Sohrab Ahmari, and his account https://twitter.com/SohrabAhmari remains unsuspended.

Sohrab is a conspiracy theorist nutball who fled a religious dictatorship in Iran and now openly advocates for a Christian monarchy for the US.

LOL I read Sohrab pretty regularly but have not seen him advocate for a Christian Monarchy in the US (though would love to read that piece). He had a pretty big dust-up with David French over, among other things, whether conservatives should continue being nice to the left as a sort of game theoretical experiment. Other than that, he's kind of boring.

Often Twitter will lock the creation of new tweets, and require the manual deletion of the offending tweet before you can continue posting. I suspect that's what happened in this case, rather than an outright account suspension.
