Twitter didn't ban conservative voices. Twitter banned voices of hate.
Freedom of speech does not apply to private platforms. Freedom of speech, as set out in the Constitution, is a guarantee against government oppression and silencing of citizens' speech. Twitter is not the government. Yet. On the other hand, the president of the United States, in his position as the head of government, has sought to block people from accessing his own Twitter account.
This complaint is akin to his use of the word "treason" to describe things he doesn't like or that show him up in his true (negative) light. He would like to use the Constitution and his presidential authority to silence and to punish people he doesn't like, and that is grounds for impeachment.
Impeach.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
