Censoring and Suppressing Free Speech on Social Media Platforms

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, House Republicans are doing everything we can to investigate the politicization and weaponization of the Federal Government.

In fact, the House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government heard testimony from New York Post reporter Emma-Jo Morris, whose reporting about Hunter Biden's laptop was censored by almost every social media platform in the country in coordination with the most powerful levers of the Federal Government to silence Americans' First Amendment right to free speech.

Let the record show that Ms. Morris' reporting was factual, as confirmed by multiple outlets after the fact, and that this egregious abuse of power was so serious and so detrimental to our free society that a Federal District Court has enjoined White House and government officials from communicating with social media companies for the purpose of censoring or suppressing free speech on their platforms.

Mr. Speaker, these nefarious actions by the White House and Federal Government agencies are utterly shameful and, frankly, un-American and must never, ever happen again.
