'CLEAR POLITICAL BIAS': RNC Demands FEC Reopen Hunter Biden Censorship Investigation

posted by Hannity Staff - 12.20.22

The “Twitter Files” continue to reveal how the social media platform was weaponized and politicized; the latest release provides more insight into how the Hunter Biden laptop from hell story was censored and squashed.

Now, the RNC wants the FEC to reopen the investigation into how Twitter censored the bombshell story.

From Fox News:

The FEC dismissed the complaint in August 2021. However, on Tuesday, the RNC pressed the commission to reopen the matter due to what it calls “bombshell revelations” regarding Twitter’s censorship practices, which the party alleges contradicts “factual assertions” made by Twitter when responding to the initial complaint.

“These revelations, commonly referred to as the ‘Twitter Files,’ expose how previous senior management took active measures to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop scandal and other information harmful to the Democratic Party and its candidate,” RNC chief counsel Matthew Raymer wrote in a letter to the FEC, obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital.

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel told Fox News that the “Twitter Files” release “has confirmed what conservatives have known for years; Twitter has a scandalous history of censoring our voices to benefit the Democrat party.”

“It is clear as day that Twitter’s censorship of the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story had no legitimate basis under Twitter’s rules, and Twitter’s overly aggressive and wide-ranging efforts to silence the story just weeks before the 2020 election demonstrate clear political bias,” McDaniel said. “The RNC filed an FEC complaint in October 2020, and in light of this month’s damning revelations, we demand a re-examination of our complaint with an emphasis on investigating whether ex-Twitter employees provided false information to the FEC.”

The RNC also questioned Twitter’s claims that it suppressed the Hunter Biden story “in accordance with established policies and procedures.”

“Instead, it appears that senior executives at Twitter knew that the company’s existing ‘Hacked Materials Policy’ did not clearly apply, and yet they suppressed the story anyway,” Raymer wrote to the FEC. Raymer said the actions Twitter took to suppress the story “far exceeded Twitter’s usual practice in suppressing material known to be hacked.”

“This directly contradicts the Declaration of Yoel Roth, formerly head of Twitter’s Site Integrity team, which Twitter submitted in response to the RNC’s complaint,” Raymer wrote, citing past comments made by Roth, which suggested the policy basis was hacked materials but was “an emerging situation where the facts remain unclear.”

RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel elaborated on the RNC’s position on Twitter:

“The RNC filed an FEC complaint over Twitter’s censorship in October 2020. In light of this month’s damning revelations, we demand a re-examination of our complaint with an emphasis on investigating whether ex-Twitter employees provided false information to the FEC. (1/2)”

“It is clear that Twitter’s censorship of the Hunter laptop story had no legitimate basis under Twitter’s rules, and Twitter’s overly aggressive & wide-ranging efforts to silence the story just weeks before the 2020 election show clear political bias. (2/2)”
