 Biden campaign ‘glad’ Twitter, Facebook censored Post’s Hunter Biden exposé

Joe Biden’s campaign said Thursday they had no problem with Twitter and Facebook’s unprecedented censoring of The Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden’s business dealings — even admitting they were “glad” it happened.

Biden campaign national press secretary Jamal Brown went so far as to claim that the gagging of one of America’s largest newspapers “made clear” that The Post’s reporting on Ukraine- and China-related documents from a Hunter Biden hard drive was untrue.

“What is your campaign’s response to this article and do you think that Twitter is doing the right thing here?” a Cheddar anchor asked Brown of the forming political maelstrom.

“I think Twitter’s response to the actual article itself makes clear that these purported allegations are false and they’re not true and glad to see social media companies like Twitter taking responsibility to limit misinformation,” Brown said.

Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans on Thursday said they will hold a hearing next week to compel Twitter’s chief executive to testify and have invited Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to do the same.

They should not be happy.   More people have now seen the story than if they had not censored the fact based story.

No kidding. The fastest way to get someone to read something is tell them you don't want them to read it.

They really should thank FB and Twitter for their in-kind campaign contribution.

I think Biden and his shills FB and Twitter may learn the meaning of "Streisand Effect".
