Conservatives lean into warnings on 'wave of censorship'
By Jonathan Easley - 01/27/21 06:01 AM EST

Conservative lawmakers and media outlets are leaning hard into the idea that they’re being silenced by Big Tech and corporate media, an argument that resonates with the grassroots base at a time when anger is running hot over how President Trump was treated while he was in office.

News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch is warning about a “wave of censorship that seeks to silence conversation.” That message has dominated Fox News Channel’s primetime lineup, where Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity are issuing seething nightly screeds about “the silencing” of conservatives through bans on social media and political boycotts.

Before he became known for challenging the outcome of the Electoral College vote count, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) saw his star rise on the right by crusading against Big Tech censorship. House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) also took up the censorship mantle early in the Trump years, helping him to connect with the GOP base.

This country has been arming itself heavily for 2-3 years anticipating something going haywire.  How long will Americans sit back and tolerate this censorship nonsense?  We are building to something, and it is not pretty.
