Republicans held a hearing to prove Twitter’s bias against them. It backfired in spectacular fashion
Ironically, the hearing appeared to reveal that Twitter had acquiesced to Trump and changed its policies after it concluded that he had violated its rules.

Anika Collier Navaroli, a former senior employee on Twitter’s content moderation team, testified that the social media company ended its ban on abusive language against immigrants to “go back to where they came from” so that Trump would not face repercussions for his racist 2019 attack on four minority Democratic congresswomen. “So much for bias against right-wing on Twitter,” Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez replied.

And the hearing hinted that the Trump White House attempted to censor the speech of at least one American: Chrissy Teigen. When Teigen called Trump a series of expletives in 2019, Navaroli testified that she was told the Trump White House contacted Twitter and demanded that it be removed. (Teigen tweeted that Trump was a “pussy ass bitch”)

Strangely enough, Republicans showed no interest in drilling down on this allegation of censorship. It’s no wonder why.

by HatetheSwamp on February 9, 2023 3:42 am Curt, First, on the video: Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump...TRUMP Bahahahahahahahahahaha! Is the point that it's fine when the Swamp does it but wrong when Trump does it? Then, the reporting I saw with Brian Kilmeade on FOX AND FRIENDS doesn't comport with your account of the hearing. I'm thinkin, as Clouseau'd say, there's some there there or the progressive SwampMedia wouldn't be launching a preemptive strike against the hearings. by HatetheSwamp on February 9, 2023 3:49 am Sorry on the bold. by islander on February 9, 2023 6:49 am "Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump...TRUMP" Lol !!! Hate is at it again ! 🤣 by HatetheSwamp on February 9, 2023 7:05 am The truth is that when Clouseau or the Swamp's busted, all you progressive SwampLovers seem to have is, BUT TRUMP! BUT TRUMP! by islander on February 9, 2023 7:44 am We all know why you Trump supporters no longer want anybody to bring up Trump's name and how embarrassing it is for you to be associated with him let alone for it to be known that you voted for him twice. Unfortunately for you, Trump is still a big deal within the Republican Party and he IS running for president. So you are going to have to suffer, try to hide your shame for what you have done, and hear his name daily both here and in the news. Or you can just continue to keep doing this !! 😁 by HatetheSwamp on February 9, 2023 7:58 am So, isle. Is pb a Trump supporter or is it unfortunate for him that Trump is running? You'd been suggesting to us that the MAGAs you know have backed away from Orangie. Are they coming back into the light? by islander on February 9, 2023 8:18 am Hate wrote: "So, isle. Is pb a Trump supporter or is it unfortunate for him that Trump is running?" Both are true, it's unfortunate for pb because as long as Trump is running he'll hear his name daily, Trump supporters really have no choice so they'll just have to try their best to hide their shame. "You'd been suggesting to us that the MAGAs you know have backed away from Orangie. Are they coming back into the light?" Don't know...All I hear from them is a deafening silence. Or, "It's not polite to talk about politics and one party is no better than the other !! That's when you know they have become full fledged cynics (disappointed idealists). by HatetheSwamp on February 9, 2023 8:25 am Maybe your Trump acquaintances are weary of being beaten about the head with Heather and Teri. Bahahahahahahahahahaha! by Ponderer on February 9, 2023 8:56 am "Is the point that it's fine when the Swamp does it but wrong when Trump does it?" -Hate No, Bill. The point is that the GOP Clown Show is trying lamely to project made up bullshit onto Biden that he never did, while totally ignoring that Trump himself was thoroughly guilty of doing what they are accusing Biden of, only far worse. Glad I could help you out there. 😎 by HatetheSwamp on February 9, 2023 9:00 am No. po. It ain't. by Curt_Anderson on February 9, 2023 9:37 am The house Republicans remind me of Hamilton Burger. They’ll spend all their energy trying to prosecute and convict somebody and it turns out the guilty party is somebody else. HtS and OD can’t say I didn’t warn them. I predicted that they will be sorely disappointed with these congressional hearings. by HatetheSwamp on February 9, 2023 9:54 am pb is aware that there's a chance that these hearings may come to nuthin. But, knowing what's already knowable, pb seriously doubts it. Will "that feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap" be impeached? That's unlikely. He may be pressured to resign. Will Dems be humiliated by voters in 024 in a way that's similar to what voters did to GOPs in 76, after Watergate? That is definitely possible. Perhaps probable. We'll see. Go To Top
