Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) expressed her outrage towards former Twitter employees during a House Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday. She accused the social media platform of “censoring” her account before Elon Musk purchased it.
During the hearing, Boebert asked former Twitter employees Vijaya Gadde and Yoel Roth if they had approved the restriction on her account. However, both witnesses claimed that they did not recall making such a decision. Boebert claimed that the former Twitter employees had shadow-banned her account over a joke about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Boebert used the majority of her five-minute question period to express her anger towards the witnesses. She stated that she was not angry for herself, but rather for the millions of Americans who were silenced due to the decisions and actions of the former Twitter employees. She accused the witnesses of being “sinister overlords” and claimed that they had attacked the very foundation of the nation’s governance by restricting access to a duly-elected member of Congress.
In conclusion, Rep. Lauren Boebert used her time during the House Oversight Committee hearing to express her anger towards the former Twitter employees who had silenced millions of Americans and attacked the foundation of the nation’s governance.

Twitter executives destroyed the Republicans !!!
1) Navaroli noted how she recommended Twitter take action against a 2019 Trump tweet that told four liberal congresswomen of color to “go back” to “crime infested places from which they came.” Although that tweet was in clear violation of the company’s policy against abusing immigrants, Navaroli testified Wednesday that her recommendation was overridden and the policy was changed.
2) RASKIN: Did I hear you say there were hundreds of thousands of counterfeit Twitter accounts set up by Russian propaganda and disinformation?
ROTH: That’s right. Those accounts are still active on social media today.
RASKIN: Well, we should be having a hearing about that.
3) Former Twitter officials revealed on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump not only received preferential treatment for years, but he also directly requested the site remove tweets that he didn’t like. At the same time, they also noted that President Joe Biden hadn’t contacted Twitter to take down any tweets or censor content.
One tweet Trump especially wanted to be deleted was a tweet where he was called a derogatory name.
4) Roth told Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) that the FBI sending over review requests of certain content may not have been a valuable use of the bureau’s resources and time, but it still didn’t represent any First Amendment violations. And even though Jordan disagreed, he also acknowledged that Twitter “isn’t bound by the First Amendment” because it’s a private company.
“My, my, my—what happens when you hold a hearing, and you can’t prove your point?” Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) snarked in response to Jordan.
She’s definitely angry and very animated, but I don’t think “destroy” is the right verb. It’d be like if an older half-senile person were yelling at a cloud, you probably wouldn’t say that they destroyed the cloud. She sounds like a loony, yelling crazy things. It’s ok that she’s not super intelligent, but I wish that she could have found a job better suited to her.
This is as about explosive as her GI tract after consuming a table top full of tucker carlson.
Aside from making a fool of herself, both at the SOU on Tuesday night and at Wednesday’s hearing, its not clear who was “destroyed”. The Republicans failed to really provide any NEW information but the Dems did show that Trump regularly begged Twitter to take down tweets critical of him and his inflated ego.
Actually she sounds extremely intelligent. Not one stutter or repetition. Consise, to the point, powerfull evidence. Looks like she indeed destroyed them……..How on earth can they defend that?
To jack what is “liberal congresswomen of color”? Does that include a bigot hiding behind “color” like Omar?
It reminds the myth of “black-and-brown,” as if (racist Arabism, bigoted Arabization) Arab-racism against blacks isn’t prevalent… Not just historic ‘Arab Slave Trade’, but today, in all Arab areas in the world.
BTW, Islamist-anti-Jewish persons: Tlaib and Omar are no “liberals.” They support liberals only in order to get their real agenda. And they succeed in the left buying their ‘Taqqyia’ game.
I highly doubt Bidden would be president had the hunter laptop story not be suppressed. This would have had bigger ramifications than Hillary’s email server / FBI announcement and to investigation right before election day. This censorship corruption does have ramifications.
