Update (1305ET): Fireworks ensued during today's Congressional grilling of Twitter execs by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee, while AOC had a total meltdown while lying through her teeth
- During one tense exchange, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene interrupted an exchange between Rep. Jimmy Gomez and Twitter's former head of Trust and Safety, asking: "Who made you in charge of what's true and what's false?". "You permanently banned my Twitter account but you allowed child porn all over Twitter," she continued. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told outright lies about the Twitter account "Libs of TikTok," stating that Boston Children's Hospital never advertised hysterectomies for children. The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday is hearing testimony from three former, top Twitter employees over the company's handling of the Hunter Biden laptop story. House Oversight Chairman James Comer, who has launched a broad investigation into the Biden family dealings, is probing the social media giant following revelations from new Twitter owner Elon Musk, who released internal communications from Twitter staff about their censorship efforts. Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the committee, accused Republicans of pursuing "Already debunked and hyperpartisan conspiracy theories about President Biden, his family and the so-called deep state." -Washington Times.
