Dem Rep Backs Elon Musk’s Search For Truth: “Twitter censorship offended basic principles our country is based on”
A Dem Rep broke with his hysterical party and is backing Elon Musk’s attempt to bring back free speech to all people on social media. Rep. Ro Khanna of California was one of the few people to look good when Musk released the Twitter Suppression Files.
That’s because Khanna wrote an email to Twitter’s chief censors telling them they were making a mistake censoring conservatives. Khanna went on Fox News to talk to Maria Bartiromo where he revealed he is open to holding congressional hearings on what in the hell was going on at Twitter.
He said: “It is wrong to censor newspapers. It is wrong to censor journalists. The New York Post hasn’t written a kind thing about me in my six years in Congress. (See Video Below)
“They’re a conservative-point-of-view paper.
“But that doesn’t mean that you can stop publishing their pieces or articles or censor their journalists from sharing stories.”
He said Twitter’s suppression of the HUnter Biden story “just offended the basic principles that our country is based on” before saying he is “open to hearings in Congress.”
He said:
“There are two competing values.
“On the one hand, we don’t want censorship.
“We don’t want to have people censored or boxed out, shadowboxed, and removed from Twitter because of their viewpoint.
“On the other hand, we don’t want accounts that are filled with anti-Semitism or just spewing racism or hate on these accounts.
“And I think Congress should have an honest, thoughtful conversation about how we uphold both of those values,” he said.
