On Thursday, 189 members of Congress, led by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), penned a letter to President Biden urging his administration to cease pressuring private social media companies to censor Democrat-deemed “disinformation” on their platforms.
The letter, which was posted to the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s official Twitter account, addressed President Biden and his administration’s “ongoing efforts to pressure private companies to censor speech that it disagrees with,” as well as comparing the president to a “Cuban dictator.”
“The Democrat Party has been attacking the First Amendment since day 1 of your administration,” the letter states. “It is the type of behavior we would expect from a Cuban dictator, not a President of the United States who is also a former Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary.”
? BREAKING ?
The White House is on a censorship mission – pressuring private companies to undermine free speech they don’t agree with.
We’re demanding they stop.
