“Senator Vance, let me ask you again: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?” Garcia-Navarro asked after the exchange with Vance, who responded, “What did an independent investigation say about Mr. Trump?” “Did a big tech company censor an article that suggested it could cost them millions of votes?” I think that's the problem. ”

Twitter blocked access to the New York Post's account and suspended others, including the personal account of then-White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. report The Post's story about the contents of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop at a repair shop violated the paper's “hacked materials” policy. House Subcommittee on Federal Weaponization reported In July 2023, the FBI announced that it knew Hunter Biden's laptop was not part of a Russian “hack and leak” operation.
“I've asked this question over and over again. It's a very important thing that the American people should know,” Garcia-Navarro insisted after further exchanges. “There is no evidence, legal or otherwise, that Donald Trump did not lose the 2020 election.”
“But instead of agreeing with what I'm saying, you're repeating the slogan: “We should not accept federal support the way our technology companies do independent research. “We are engaging in industrial-scale censorship by proposing to influence votes,” Vance replied. “I'm worried about Americans who feel like there was a problem in 2020. I'm not worried about this slogan that people throw around: 'Well, every trial went like this. 'What I'm talking about is , about something very specific, namely the issue of censorship in this country, which I think influenced the way things were in 2020. And more importantly, that led to the reign of Kamala Harris, which led to this country. It messed up a lot.”
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in June that Missouri, Louisiana and five other plaintiffs did not have standing to challenge the censorship regime allegedly instituted by the Biden administration.
