Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., asked during a meeting about the bailout of Silicon Valley Bank whether social media could be censored to prevent misinformation going out that could lead to a bank run, according to reports.
Michael Shellenberger, an independent journalist who reports on the Twitter files and has contributed to Fox News reported that Kelly asked the Federal Reserve, Treasury Department and Federal Deposit and Insurance Corp (FDIC) about censorship measures during the meeting on Sunday.
Republican House members on the call confirmed with Shellenberger’s publication, Public on Substack, that a Democratic senator asked about censoring social media companies, including Rep. Thomas Massie, R-KY, though Kelly’s name was not specifically noted. […]

Well done AZ. Keep on counting votes...
The so called “ moderate” Democrat.
The only kind of ‘censoring’ that may/should/could be allowed in the country, should be by the defense department and its associated spy agencies.

Put his worthless azz into a space capsule and shoot it back into outer space. He’s a jerk.
GTH, Space Rat
Kelly is a hack.
And all of Peter Thiel’s money couldn’t dislodge him from the Senate…
Just one more Democrat wannabe totalitarian who hates the most precious concepts embodied in the Constitution.
May his favorite Mexican cartel take a sudden dislike of him.
Progs, meet Nazi Mark.
Nazi Mark, you will be right at home with your fellow progs.

Stolen elections have that effect.
(Mark Kelly)
This guy is a shameless attention whore.
No offense to regular whores intended.
Our glorious Senator:
Kelly joked that his twin brother had his DNA altered during a year-long stint on the ISS and had turned into a monkey, so they changed his name to Rodrigo and released him back into the wild.
A loose dog belonging to Mark Kelly (or, ahh, his daughter) savagely attacked and killed a beached baby sea lion.
Tucson gun store where Mark Kelly recently purchased an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle canceled the transaction because Kelly did not plan to keep the rifle for his personal use.
Mark Kelly attempted a straw purchase? Yikes
Josef Goebbels smiles from Hell.
Another slippery slope the left wants us to go down
The government should not be allowed to censor anything. Free speech is not free if the government can restrict any speech.
.... and said Sen. Kelly asked about foreign adversaries potentially trying to take advantage of the situation by spreading misinformation. …
So, they deny it, but then confirm it with weasel wording. demoncraps suck.
