YouTube removes video of Rand Paul reading alleged whistleblower's name on Senate floor

By Justin Wise - 02/13/20 08:46 AM EST

YouTube has removed a video from its platform that shows Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) stating on the Senate floor the name of a person who he says is the whistleblower whose complaint triggered the impeachment inquiry of President Trump.

The company, home to millions of hours of video content, said in a statement  on Thursday that “videos, comments, and other forms of content that mention the leaked whistleblower’s name" violate its community guidelines and will be removed from the site.

"We’ve removed hundreds of videos and over ten thousand comments that contained the name. Video uploaders have the option to edit their videos to exclude the name and reupload," Ivy Choi, a spokesperson, said in the statement, which was first reported by Politico.   .  .  .

“Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) stating on the Senate floor the name of a person who he says is the whistleblower...”


Rand Paul never said Ciaramella was the whistleblower. In fact, he said the opposite - that he had no idea who the so-called whistleblower was. He said Ciamarella should be investigated for potential conflict of interest.

The Rats cannot back off the lie that Ciamarella is not a real whistleblower, but a mouthpiece for a handful of Trump-hating bureaucrats, like that marshmallow Vindman.
