After Jim Jordan proved Joe Biden’s administration violated the US Constitution by censoring American speech, our most sacred right and the foundation for all the other rights we enjoy, Kamala Harris had the gall to tell Al Sharpotion she is worried about the ‘erosion of Democracy.’
Without free speech all our other rights are an illusion. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris violated their oaths of office by censoring speech (and are fighting in court right now for the right to keep doing it). Nothing has eroded Democracy more than their actions.
She said: “I will not be burdened by what has been. I will believe in what can be. There are many things that I am proud of that we have done that have been, I think, in many ways, and I say this humbly, that have been transformational for our country.
“The thing about being a role model — people watch what you do to see if it lines up with what you say.
“One of the things that is one of the things I wake up thinking about is not only what an erosion of democracy will mean for the American people, what it will mean invariably for people around the world. Can you imagine?”
Jim Jordan said earlier:
“Never-before-released internal documents subpoenaed by the Judiciary Committee PROVE that Facebook and Instagram censored posts and changed their content moderation policies because of unconstitutional pressure from the Biden White House.
“During the first half of 2021, social media companies like Facebook faced tremendous pressure from the Biden White House—both publicly and privately—to crack down on alleged “misinformation.
“In April 2021, a Facebook employee circulated an email for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg, writing: “We are facing continued pressure from external stakeholders, including the [Biden] White House” to remove posts.
“In another April 2021 email, Nick Clegg, Facebook’s president for global affairs, informed his team at Facebook that Andy Slavitt, a Senior Advisor to President Biden, was “outraged . . . that [Facebook] did not remove” a particular post.
“What did the Biden White House want removed?
“A meme.
“That’s right, even memes weren’t spared from the Biden White House’s censorship efforts.
“When Clegg “countered that removing content like that would represent a significant incursion into traditional boundaries of free expression in the US,”
“Slavitt disregarded the warning and the First Amendment.
“What happened next? Facebook panicked.
“In another April 2021 email, Brian Rice, Facebook’s VP of public policy, raised the concern that Slavitt’s challenge felt ‘very much like a crossroads for us with the [Biden] White House in these early days.’
“But Facebook wanted to repair its relationship with the White House to avoid adverse action:
“‘Given what is at stake here, it would also be a good idea if we could regroup and take stock of where we are in our relations with the [White House], and our internal methods too.’
“This wasn’t the first time that the Biden White House was angry that Facebook didn’t censor more.
“According to these documents, the Biden White House demanded to know why Facebook had not censored a video from Tucker Carlson
”So, Facebook prepped its response.
“To appease the Biden White House, talking points were drafted for Clegg.
“Facebook was ready to tell the White House that it had demoted a video posted by Tucker Carlson by 50% in response to the White House’s demands, even though the post didn’t violate any policies.
“Public pressure mounted as well.
“In July 2021, President Biden publicly denounced Facebook and other social media platforms, claiming they were “killing people” by not censoring alleged ‘misinformation.’
“On August 2, 2021, Facebook admitted it was going to change its policies because of pressure from the Biden White House.
“August 2, 2021: ‘[Facebook’s] Leadership asked Misinfo Policy . . . to brainstorm some additional policy levers we can pull to be more aggressive against . . . misinformation. This is stemming from the continued criticism of our approach from the [Biden] administration.’
“These documents, AND OTHERS that were just produced to the Committee, prove that the Biden Admin abused its powers to coerce Facebook into censoring Americans, preventing free and open discourse on issues of critical public importance.”
The Twitter files showed similar coercion by the Biden administration. Zuckerberg and Musk should sue the Biden administration.
