On Facebook’s and Twitter’s outrageous, politically-motivated throttling/censorship of the New York Post’s explosive story on Hunter Biden’s shady business dealings with Ukraine – a story which also severely undercuts Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s claims about his son’s overseas actions – Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) is loaded for bear.

Hawley sent letters to both Facebook and Twitter yesterday, demanding answers as to why they censored the story, and he’s also called for an Federeal Elections Commission (FEC) investigation into their actions.

The Biden campaign, on the other hand, is doing everything they can to point to FB’s and Twitter’s official response to the story, using what the two social media giants did as supposed evidence that the story was fake news and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Just this morning, Biden campaign national press secretary Jamal Brown made the ridiculous claim in an interview with a Cheddar reporter in response to a question about Twitter’s role in hiding the story from its users:

NEW — the @JoeBiden campaign responds to the @nypost story and @Twitter fallout on @cheddar:

“Twitter’s response to the actual article itself makes clear that these purported allegations are false and are not true.” @JTOBrown pic.twitter.com/rwSH8RiNYo

Wait – so Twitter is now an authoritative, fact-checking source? For real?

After watching the clip, Hawley had the same reaction to the Biden campaign’s Twitter spin, and roasted them:

Wait – now @JoeBiden is using @Twitter as the factual authority on whether the @nypost story is accurate? Is this serious? https://t.co/Xl2NifDL5l

Hawley further noted that this was evidence of the actual collusion – the kind that should really concern the American people:

So #BigTech monopolies donate massive money to Biden/Harris, Biden gets the monopolies to censor negative stories about him, and then points to the monopolies as experts. Talk about collusion

And not only is this proof of collusion between social media companies and Democrats, but there’s also a third player involved: left-leaning media outlets who joined in on the action, also in an effort to shield the Biden campaign from further scrutiny:

This is the same circular reasoning used in claiming the story is “disinformation.” Many speculated it might be; then Mother Jones/Defense One wrote articles claiming it was, based on all the speculation; then those speculators used the articles to “prove” it was disinfo.

As infuriating as this media/Democrat/Big Tech coordination has been, that it’s been so blatant and obvious hopefully will wake more people up as to why Congress needs to take action against these tech giants sooner rather than later.
