Government must never infringe on the First Amendment rights of Americans, and I’m deeply concerned over recent reports that the Biden Administration is flagging social media posts that they deem as “misinformation” and requesting Facebook remove them. That is why I joined over 190 of my House Republican colleagues in opposing the White House’s efforts.
In a letter to President Biden, we write:
“Your administration’s efforts to pressure private entities to promote approved speech and censor disfavored speech undermines fundamental foundation of the First Amendment. It is the type of behavior we would expect from a Cuban dictator, not a President of the United States who is also the former Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary.”
