ICYMI – One thing that the last few years under Joe Biden should have taught everyone is that the Deep State is doing everything that it can to silence dissenting opinions. It is why so many conservative outlets have been shackled in the way that they have.
More Social Media censorship horror stories emerged as proof that the Biden Administration targeted popular former Fox News host Tucker Carlson; their weapon of choice was Facebook.
Thanks to new reporting from @mtaibbi, who’s spent weeks sifting through previously-secret Twitter files, we know that the federal government’s intelligence and law enforcement agencies enthusiastically joined the effort to censor the political speech of American citizens. pic.twitter.com/rtmuvt1Yhj

The Facebook social media platform is the most prominent in conservative circles to monetize their brand as well as reach viewership in multiple generations of age groups.
As the world becomes more resembled Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World, ” the American government elites have no qualms about using the conglomerate Tech Companies to silence those voices that oppose the uniparty’s ultimate control.
According to a document released by Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry of Louisiana the current White House pressed Facebook to censor Tucker Carlson. The popular news host’s crime was his skepticism of COVID-19 vaccines, saying they “don’t work.”

“Since we’ve been on the phone — the top post about vaccines today is [T]ucker Carlson saying they don’t work. Yesterday it was Tomi Lehren [sic] saying she won’t take one,” White House Director of Digital Strategy Rob Flaherty said in an April 14, 2021 email to an unidentified Facebook employee. The excerpt from the email was posted on Twitter by Landry.
Landry, along with Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, have made it their mission to go after the Biden administration for weaponizing social media against the citizenry of the United States. The duo sued the Biden administration in federal court on May 5. Their lawsuit claims that members of the administration colluded with social media companies to suppress debate on the 2020 presidential election, the COVID-19 pandemic, and other issues.

The court ordered the Biden administration to turn over communications between officials and the tech companies in July.
“This is exactly why I want to know what ‘Reduction’ actually looks like — if ‘reduction’ means ‘pumping our most vaccine-hesitant audience with [T]ucker Carlson saying it doesn’t work’ then … I’m not sure it’s reduction!” Flaherty continued in the document released by Landry.
Flaherty’s email was not the only one exposed as the Facebook employee apparently responded. According to the document which Landry posted the unidentified Facebook employee told Flaherty that they were “running this down now.”
