What’s Happening:
The Christmas season keeps giving. Everyone who loves justice and freedom should be thanking Elon Musk. Throughout the month of December, he has been releasing documents from Twitter’s former executives. These revelations proved that the social network was colluding with Democrats to silence conservatives.
But perhaps the most damning revelations came in a recent Twitter Files report. We just learned that the moment Joe Biden entered the White House, he was demanding Twitter start censoring people who criticized the left’s narrative on COVID.
From Twitter:
When the Biden admin took over, one of their first meeting requests with Twitter executives was on Covid. The focus was on “anti-vaxxer accounts.” Especially Alex Berenson:

This is pretty bad. The First Amendment prevents the government from silencing the speech of Americans. There are no exceptions for COVID. The First Amendment also forbids the government from compelling private companies to silence Americans as well. Yet this report clearly shows Biden demanded Twitter shut down prominent critics of Democrats’ COVID response.
But if you thought this made Twitter look bad, guess what? There were times even the leftist operators of the social giant refused to obey Joe’s demands. And the administration actually got ticked off.
From Twitter:
Culbertson wrote that the Biden team was “very angry” that Twitter had not been more aggressive in deplatforming multiple accounts. They wanted Twitter to do more.

Do you believe that? Biden was “very angry” that Twitter wasn’t more aggressive in shutting down Americans’ free speech. The administration wanted Twitter to “deplatform” accounts that contradicted Biden’s claims on COVID. Especially his attempts at forcing Americans to get the vaccine–or else lose their jobs.
This is worse than you might realize. Not only was Biden violating the First Amendment, but he was angry that Twitter wasn’t doing more to destroy our fundamental rights. This should outrage every last American.
At any other time, both parties would be outraged over this. Democrats and Republicans in Washington would be demanding investigations against Biden and his team. But where is the outrage on Capitol Hill? Why aren’t our leaders shocked that Biden would trample our freedoms?
Well, it’s because Democrats supported Biden’s attempts to silence Americans. They benefitted from Twitter and other social networks’ censorship campaigns. And they are unlikely to hold Biden accountable for what he did.
The only way things are going to change is if Americans demand justice.
Key Takeaways:
- New Twitter Files reports show Biden pressured Twitter to censor users who contradicted his COVID narrative.
- In one report, the administration was “very angry” that Twitter refused to deplatform some users.
- It is a violation of the First Amendment for the government to compel private companies to silence Americans.
