House Weaponization Committee to Hear Testimony That Biden Administration Worked With Social Media to Censor Free Speech

“The Biden administration has led “the largest speech censorship operation in recent history” by working with social media companies to suppress and censor information later acknowledged as truthful,” former Missouri attorney general Eric Schmitt will tell the House Weaponization Committee Thursday.

Schmitt, now a Republican senator from Missouri, is expected to testify alongside Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and former Missouri deputy attorney general for special litigation, D. John Sauer.

The three witnesses will discuss the findings of their federal government censorship lawsuit, Louisiana and Missouri v. Biden et al—which they filed in May 2022 and which they describe as “the most important free speech lawsuit of this generation.”

The testimony comes after Missouri and Louisiana filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration, alleging that President Biden and members of his team “colluded with social media giants Meta, Twitter, and YouTube to censor free speech in the name of combating so-called ‘disinformation’ and ‘misinformation.’”

The lawsuit alleges that coordination led to the suppression and censorship of truthful information “on a scale never before seen” using examples of the COVID lab-leak theory, information about COVID vaccinations, Hunter Biden’s laptop, and more.

The lawsuit is currently in discovery, and Thursday’s hearing is expected to feature witness testimony that will detail evidence collected to show the Biden administration has “coerced social media companies to censor disfavored speech.”

“Discovery obtained by Missouri and Louisiana demonstrated that the Biden administration’s coordination with social media companies and collusion with non-governmental organizations to censor speech was far more pervasive and destructive than ever known,” Schmitt will testify, according to prepared testimony obtained by Fox News Digital.”(Courtesy FoxNews.com)

Section 230 of the Security Communications Act states that

“No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider” (47 U.S.C. § 230)

What this means is that any online service which publishes third-party content is protected against a range of laws that might otherwise be used to hold them legally responsible for what others say and do.

The problem is, as was exhibited yesterday, these entities can also be used as a way to limit free speech if that speech damages the political party that the ownership supports.

There has been shadow banning of Conservatives happening on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets for quite some time.

Why are Far Left Democrats so afraid of Conservative Thought and Free Speech?

Far Left Democrats’ idea of “Free Speech” is anything that agrees with their immoral and unethical point of view.

Is it possible that this head-on rush by the Far Left Democratic Party to immerse themselves and our Sovereign Nation in the Marxist Theory-inspired Political Philosophy of Democratic Socialism has caused them to emulate those who were responsible for the original Russian Revolution, some 100 years ago?

Just like their predecessors a century ago in a land far away, these “New Bolsheviks” are using any means necessary to shut down any and all opposition to their effort to “radically change” America into something that it was never meant to be.

As polls show, the vast majority of Americans do not agree with turning America into a Far Left Marxist Nation.

Average Americans simply do not support the failed political ideology of today’s Far Left Democrats.

This new censorship movement by the Democrats is their way of telling average Americans to shut up.

The Democrats know that their policies are failing and that their president is a nothing but a demented old puppet whose public actions and words have revealed that he is not capable of being in control of our Federal Government.

And, the Democrats know that they have no credible choice to take his place if they decide to remove him from office.

The Democrats’ Censorship Movement reminds me of the song that the Wicked Witch sings in the remake of “The Wizard of Oz”, “The Wiz”, “Don’t Nobody Bring Me No Bad News”.

Unfortunately for the Democrats, this isn’t a Broadway Musical turned into a movie.

America is still a Constitutional Republic and this is still the real world.

As the late, great Robin Williams used to say

“Reality…what a concept!”

Until He Comes.
