No, they just reinterpreted their policies to achieve the desired outcome (ie, permaban of said politician). It's amazing how flexible their policies are depending on who the subject is.

Well, back in june 2020 this account copied 45's tweets and was quickly banned:

That suggests that they actually stretched their policies to accommodate NOT banning a political figure - since a non-political figure was banned for the same content.
