Sparked by Twitter and Facebook’s blocking of a negative New York Post article about Hunter Biden, ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform James Comer (R-Ky.) and other top republicans on Thursday urged Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) to hold an emergency hearing on election interference and Big Tech’s censorship.
Many Republican lawmakers took to Twitter to call out the tech giants for restricting and blocking the distribution of the Post’s story alleging, according to obtained documents now allegedly with the FBI, that Joe Biden may have lied about not meeting with a top Ukrainian gas firm executive at the time of his vice presidency. At the time, his son Hunter Biden held a paid position on the board of the gas firm, Burisma.
