On Thursday, the House Oversight Committee called for an FBI investigation into Parler’s involvement in the deadly attack on the Capitol this month.

The feds are working with FaceBook to get info on individual users that may have been in the Capitol, but they are planning on investigating Parler for contributing to the Capitol seige?

The hypocrisy is at 11.

The only crimes this criminal enterprise chooses to investigate are the crimes never committed. It would have a lifetime’s worth of crimes to investigate even if they only investigated themselves.

Sites like this one aren’t exempt. You know they are watching and monitoring sites like this one and any other that doesn’t agree with the new free speech guidelines big tech is implementing.

Can the FBI find out why an unarmed woman was shot in the deadly protest?

Yeah, cuz they might have incited riots and stuff.

Not like Twitter or Facebook, or a majority of Democrat politicians did in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York . . .

It’s not hypocrisy, its just that the mask has slipped.

The rules were never meant to be a level playing field, and don’t apply equally to everyone. It’s all agitprop and power politics from here on out.

The sooner we recognize this, the better.
