Senate Republicans call on Twitter, Facebook bosses to testify amid censorship claims, say subpoena in works

Republican Sens. Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham and Josh Hawley on Thursday called on the heads of Twitter and Facebook to testify, and said a subpoena was in the works, as critics claimed the social media platforms have been censoring reporting critical of Democrats.

“This is election interference and we're 19 days out from an election,” Cruz, R-Texas, said. “It has no precedent in the history of democracy. The Senate Judiciary Committee wants to know what the hell is going on.”

The Senate Judiciary Committee leaders announced they will vote on a subpoena Tuesday for Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter, to testify before the committee on Friday, Oct. 23. Hawley said he hoped the committee would also vote to subpoena Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg too.

The person who should have condemned this yesterday is - Joe Biden.

They’re should be demands for him to do so. Is this how he intends to rule us? (Yes of course it is).

Doubt the Twitter/Facebook bosses have real control over their rabid leftist employees. They are doing whatever they want to do.

Biden can’t even bring himself to say “law enforcement”. I very much doubt he’s going to step up to the plate on this one.

The committee will vote Tuesday on whether to subpoena. Graham said it would be purely political for the dem members to block the subpoena. What procedural slight of hand will dems utilize to block the issuance of the subpeona? If they can, they certainly will.

The tech oligarchs are going all in on a Biden win, knowing that all of this will be swept under the rug and they’ll skate with a Democratic sweep on November 3.

They’ll run the clock out, which is all they care about.

One question for our ‘Constitutional Scholar’: Has he ever heard of the word INJUNCTION? As in going to court and getting an injunction to stop this crap, IMMEDIATELY...after all, the courts are getting pretty friendly to our side, thanks to Trump.

No, on the injunction; because that would be like actually doing something, rather than just talking about it, we can’t have that. Plus, many of the Senators would have funding cut off, that would be really bad.
