Twitter Files Show Democrat Staffers Wanted Twitter to Censor More

The emails related to Twitter’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, which broke in the weeks before the 2020 presidential election.

According to the emails, Carl Szabo of research firm Net Choice,had emailed Twitter’s head of Public Polic, Lauren Culbertson, a report after polling 12 congressional staffers — nine Republicans and three Democrats. Szabo reporoted to Culbertson that the Democrat staffers complained that Twitter “let conservatives muddy the water and make the Biden campaign look corrupt.”

They also compared the Hunter Biden laptop story to the Hillary Clinton email scandal, wherein the then-secretary of state set up an unsecured private server in her home basement that contained work and classified emails. Despite being required to hand over the material, tens of thousands of emails were deleted.They linked this to Hillary Clinton’s email scandal: she did nothing wrong but because the press wouldn’t let the story go, it became a scandal far out of proportion.

The Democrats were in agreement: social media needs to moderate more because they’re corrupting democracy and making all “truth” relative. When pushed on how the government might insist on that, consistent with the First Amendment, they demurred: “the First Amendment isn’t absolute.”Szabo’s letter contains chilling passages relaying Democratic lawmakers’ attitudes.

Anyone care that Biden also lied. Big Tech should be Public Enemy 1.

Absolutely absolute, and why it is our FIRST amendment.

There needs to be legislation that defines exactly what censorship is permissible. These social media sites are now a vital means of communication and need guidelines from The FCC to protect freedom of speech. Posts should be protected much like US Mail.

Breitbart are you commenting on Trumps terminating rules, regulations and articles, even those found In the constitution? No wonder your talking about everything else but.

The Left believes that it alone has the absolute right of free speech.

Because it is not absolute.

Just let everybody say what they want. Leave it up to members to decide what to read, or believe. Is it that hard to put a little time into researching things to find the truth? and I mean, not just Google something for five seconds.

It is not absolute.

1st Amendment is absolutely absolute! As is the 2nd Amendment.

Truth hurts

It’s written pretty absolute. The courts who’s job it is to decide these things say it’s absolute. That would mean they broke the oath they took to uphold the constitution and should be removed.

Hmm...the '1st amendment isn't absolute'...sounds like Trumps not the only one changing the Constitution.

Breitbart 😂 🤣😂🤣

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Twitter is a private company & can do whatever the hell it wants. For the government to interfere with that reeks of the very socialism that you maga cultists are constantly raging against.

it is absolute when it comes to opinion. You cannot yell 'Fire' in a theater. Thats not what this is. These are fascists draped in a dem party flag trying to shove agendas.chg them with treason The middle of the country is going 2 give u a reality check if u dont knock it off.

Republicans call for suspension of US Constitution.

The only way to censor somebody show the door get out

If it is, the GOP federalist society would not spend millions and decades to stuff the benches.😂😂

Hey BritebartNews Who throws the best NAZI Dinner parties?. I heard it’s this fat ass down in Florida. 😂😂👍

Its funny that CNN MSNBC and all the other liberal main stream media being totally silent about this speaks volumes!

Are there no boundaries to their corruption?

Everyone already knows the 1st Amendment isn't an absolute, and SCOTUS has held such in prior rulings. However, censoring in a whim creates harm as well. The Constitution was written to limit gov't, and in the case of the twitterfiles we see the need for those limits.

The First Amendment isn't absolute. Neither is the Second.

The 1st is absolute. Why the hell would you want it not to be?

God bless Musk

As did the Trump administration

Khanna Lone Democrat Concerned About Twitter Censorship of Hunter LaptopRep. Ro Khanna (R-CA) was the only Democrat lawmaker who expressed concerns with Twitter over the social media company’s censorship of Hunter Biden’s laptop just before the 2020 presidential election, according to internal discussions. Rarely to I agree with RepRoKhanna BUT, I do appreciate his level headedness and willingness to work with others. If we had more people like him working together I believe things would get done for the American people. If we had a real DOJ, these people would be arrested already. Look at his jurisdiction. His concern was the freedom of speech or....?
