That doesn't justify selectively banning him at all. We could agree if we ban everyone with a political mandate perhaps. Fair and square.
Wouldn't support it intrinsically, but at least we could rid of these weasel excuses for why such measures are allegedly justified.

They can call a press conference whenever they want and get national news coverage. They can write down anything they want and hand it to the clerk for inclusion in the Congressional Record. They have email and physical mailing lists. The CAN-SPAM act doesn't cover political calls or texts, either.
