And it wasnt against the policy. the question is why did you take it down if you had no reason of a violation to remove it? i think this goes, two points jordan is trying to make. one you are making a political contribution to joe biden by suppressing the story and you cant make a millions of dollar contribution and removing this story from one of the main platforms of the public square in america? thats one issue. the second issue he brought up last was he is showing the connection between the ...

Rights. >> harris: we have a democrat connolly of virginia who wants to talk about the suppression of former president trump tweets. lets watch. >> certainly none im aware of no. >> i dont recall anything like that. >> im sorry, president biden did what, sir? >> has joe biden ever called twitter to your knowledge or his white house on his behalf to take down content or urge you to take down content? >> i dont know the answer to that question, sir. >> well, i will have to conclude from three of t...

Platform today, isnt it? >> regrettably yes, it is. >> despite inspiring a bomb threat due to the right wing incitement of violence against trans americans in this country because they cannot let go of this obsession with fixating violence and inciting violence against trans and lgtb people in addition to immigrants and women of color. the party cannot pick on anyone their own size and they are trying to call off an entire social media platform and use the power of this committee and congress in...

>> yes. you look at china and we all understand that it is a threat. you now have speaker kevin mccarthy put together a select china committee to take it seriously for the first time in years compiling members from all committees to look at all of the things china is invading airspace with a balloon. buying up space in the bahamas and either side of the panama canal. farm area in the united states of america. collecting intellectual propertyment looking at us through tiktok or other means of soc...

The question you got your hearing, we exposed information, what more do you want? what more do you want? we want to make sure it never happens again and make sure there is an open and consistent debate across all platforms where everyone can have their views shared and we dont have truth censors, one other point thats interesting to douglass point these were nameless, faceless employees at twitter. they never thought they would be exposed and thought they could censor a very relevant, truthful s...

Believed them. >> harris: so while we do the fact checking and fact finding, the white house is doing spin through their binder of spin calling todays hearing a bizarre political stunt. if you keep track they called yesterdays border hearing a political stunt as well. maybe they were on the same page in the binder. sean duffy former wisconsin congressman and host of the bottom line on fox business. douglas murray, great to see you both. douglas, i will start with you. in the last few minutes we ...

Trump. it is reflexively where they go. they want to know who called twitter and all of that. do they not see the complicit nature that republicans are trying to show the public? americans can see it from the wider media, the suppression of facts before a presidential election around a candidate, then joe biden in 2020, and the movement of the feds to try to tell twitter what its policy is or should be to take down material to censor. it is not a free and open press and we know that. some media ...
