The new House GOP majority is hitting the ground running, and things exploded during a hearing on Big Tech censorship. Marjorie Taylor Green and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took turns questioning Yoel Roth, who infamously headed up Twitter’s Trust and Safety division before Elon Musk took over.
For her part, Greene lit into the panel of witnesses, which also included Vijaya Gadde, the person behind the banning of Donald Trump and who played a key role in leading Twitter’s censorship regime.

Toward the end of the clip, Greene pulled out poster boards of the tweets that got her banned. All of them were related to COVID-19, including a citation of deaths shown on the CDC’s website and the assertion that vaccines should not be mandated. That was enough for Twitter to tag Greene’s posts as COVID-19 “misinformation” and permanently ban her.
But while Greene had her moment of revenge, at least as far as chiding those who silenced her qualifies as that, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showed up with a great big helping of dishonesty and idiocy to add to the table.
While questioning Roth, Ocasio-Cortez accused Libs of TikTok of lying about Boston Children’s Hospital.

Until the power-crazy, Fist-Amendment-destroying lefties end up in prison, it’s all just Kabuki theater.
I LOVED Lauren Boebart’s addition to the firy questioning. She was spot on and when they didn’t remember something, she provided the proof of what they did and “helped” them remember!
