Ohio Rep. and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan revealed a treasure trove of documents this week highlighting the Biden Administration’s shady relationship with Big Tech company Meta.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey spoke with Fox & Friends on Friday, revealing that the documents appear to show that the Biden Administration even pushed Facebook beyond its internal censorship standards.
“We knew that Joe Biden had coerced and colluded with Big Tech social media to silence American voices in violation of the First Amendment right to free speech,” Bailey told Todd Piro on Friday. “And what this shows is that not only did he coerce and collude with Big Tech social media, but he actually pushed them further than their own internal censorship policies… this clearly establishes that they understood that Big Tech social media understood that the federal government was making demands and was pushing them beyond the bounds of their own internal policies and memorandum.”
“This is absolutely a smoking gun. It largely corroborates the evidence that we had discovered in our lawsuit. We’re going to keep pushing forward. We can’t let Joe Biden destroy free speech in America,” Bailey continued.
Rep. Jordan shared the bombshell in a Twitter (X) thread this week:
“Never-before-released internal documents subpoenaed by the Judiciary Committee PROVE that Facebook and Instagram censored posts and changed their content moderation policies because of unconstitutional pressure from the Biden White House,” Jordan wrote Thursday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“During the first half of 2021, social media companies like Facebook faced tremendous pressure from the Biden White House — both publicly and privately — to crack down on alleged ‘misinformation,’” he continued. “In April 2021, a Facebook employee circulated an email for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg, writing: ‘We are facing continued pressure from external stakeholders, including the [Biden] White House’ to remove posts.”
