A prominent black conservative has been banned from MAGA social media site Gettr for using the N-word in his profile after the app promoted itself as a 'cancel-free zone.'
Jon Miller, a black right-wing pundit and former Blaze TV host, was forced to take to rival site Twitter to expose the 'free speech frauds' at Gettr after his account was suspended.
He claimed that he was booted for 'no reason' and didn't create any posts using the slur, though admitted he used the N-word as part of his profile.
'Guess I was too critical of them for suspending others? What does it say when the 1st platform to ban me is the one that sells itself as the free speech alternative?' Miller tweeted with a photo showing the notice of his suspension.
Gettr's global communications director Ebony Bowden quickly fired back on Twitter, accusing him of using the racial slur on the site.
'You are a liar @MillerStream. You did use our platform, and you included the N-word in your profile, a clear violation of our terms of service. GETTR does defend free speech but we've got no room for racial slurs. Bye,' tweeted Bowden, who is white.
Miller replied to Bowden: 'Wow a black man can’t even refer to his own people freely if it makes a patronizing white woman mad! We ADOPTED that word as a term of ENDEARMENT because of racist Democrats (slave owners) like you.'
Miller did not respond to an inquiry from DailyMail.com on Wednesday.

Gettr was launched by a former Trump aide and brands itself as standing against 'political censorship and "cancel culture"'
People quickly began commenting on the situation and exchange between Miller and Bowden on Twitter.
'Imagine being the "Communications Director" for GETTR and telling a black man he can't say "n*gga" and then when he has a problem with his suspension, calling him a liar and ending with, "Bye". Lmao,' @MissusMassacre tweeted.
'“GETTR supports free speech” as long as it doesn’t oFfEnD anyone,' Simon Miller wrote before directing people to switch to Gab, another right-wing social media site.
'If GETTR wants to maintain credibility as an alternative social media platform, they should reinstate @MillerStream. Banning a black man for putting the N-word in his bio is pretty insane— you don’t even see that on Twitter. Very slippery slope!' conservative Ashley St. Clair commented

'Jon Miller was banned on GETTR. Didn’t take long for GETTR’s owners to out themselves. You’re either for free speech or you aren’t. Even “offensive” speech should be protected,' right-wing commentator Millie Weaver tweeted.
Some users even noted the irony of the conversation about Gettr taking place on Twitter - after Donald Trump crony Jason Milled launched the conservative site last year following his boss being banned from social media.
'GETTR reps arguing with users on twitter about why they were banned on GETTR is peak hilarity. We're never getting a viable twitter alternative,' @TheQuartering tweeted.
Trump was banned for most main stream social media sites after the deadly January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, when his supporters attacked police and stormed Congress.
His bans stoked criticism of liberal-leaning tech companies willingness to crack down on high-profile right wing users. Critics say the firms wield too much power, and are warping free speech.
When the app first launched, it claimed that users would not censor a user's free speech unless they were talking negatively about the app itself. It brands itself as a social media site fighting against 'political censorship and "cancel culture."'
Jason Miller said that the name is a combination of the words, 'Get
