Tweet, Twit, Twat

What if you had a hearing about how the Democrats weaponized the Federal Gubmint agains the Republicans, but instead all the evidence showed that it was the Republicans demanding censorship? Oops!

Spurred on by the so-called “Twitter Files,” the House Oversight Committee hearing on Twitter’s decision to temporarily block a 2020 New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop was supposed to show overwhelming proof that the social media giant was engaged in anti-conservative “censorship.”

Instead, former Twitter officials revealed on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump not only received preferential treatment for years, but he also directly requested the site remove tweets that he didn’t like. At the same time, they also noted that President Joe Biden hadn’t contacted Twitter to take down any tweets or censor content.

One tweet Trump especially wanted to be deleted: Supermodel and TV star Chrissy Teigen calling him a “pussy ass bitch” in 2019.

And then there’s this:

The Trump administration and its allied Republicans in Congress routinely asked Twitter to take down posts they objected to — the exact behavior that they’re claiming makes President Biden, the Democrats, and Twitter complicit in an anti-free speech conspiracy to muzzle conservatives online.

And then there’s this bit of low comedy to conclude:

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) closed the hearing, saying it was “very successful.” The witnesses repeatedly testified under oath that the FBI did not influence their decision to block the spread of the New York Post article on Twitter in 2020.

Every Accusation is a Confession. It is an axiomatic truth.
