As midterm elections loom, the Biden administration is pulling out all the stops just to help the Democrats’ election chances.
Newly released documents reveal that the White House attempted to form a misinformation team with social media companies such as Facebook and Twitter to censor any forms of dissent against Democrats.
Attorney General Jeff Landry (R-LA) and Attorney General Eric Schmitt (R-MO) filed a request to see any and all communications between federal agencies and social media giants Meta and Google.
“Clearly coordinate[d] to censor freedom of speech, but we’re not done,” Schmitt said, adding, “the Department of Justice is cowering behind executive privilege and has refused to turn over communications between the highest-ranking Biden Administration officials and social media companies.”
The two attorney generals later confirmed in a joint statement that Meta disclosed at least 32 federal officials, including senior officials at the FDA, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, and the White House, “have communicated with Meta about content moderation on its platforms, many of whom were not disclosed in response to Plaintiffs’ interrogatories to Defendants.”
Google also admitted to 11 federal officials being in communication with the White House.
The filing is a part of a bigger lawsuit against President Joe Biden for “allegedly colluding with social media giants to censor and suppress free speech” during the COVID-19 pandemic, wherein they claim the White House suppressed information about the pandemic and election integrity under the disguise of combating “misinformation.”
Democrats are fearing that the infighting and dissatisfaction with the Biden administration could cost them their majority in Congress during the November 8 midterm elections, so it makes sense that they’re calling on their radical leftist friends in Silicon Valley to help them out.
Earlier last month, more than two dozen Democratic lawmakers and officials blew the whistle on how bad they think the current administration is, saying that they don’t feel that the president is doing enough to reflect their anger and concerns about leftist issues.
“Biden’s response seemed flat to many Democrats,” reported Politico. “And there is fear the piecemeal [gun safety] bill didn’t just sap momentum to continue addressing gun violence but was already giving cover to Republicans.”
