House Democrat Says Twitter, Facebook Should Not Have Censored Hunter Biden Story

Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said he believed it was a "Mistake" for Twitter and other Big Tech companies to censor the New York Post's bombshell report about Hunter Biden even though he feels the story was "Total hogwash."

"I thought it was a mistake for Twitter to take down some of this stuff about Hunter Biden, or Facebook to do that," he continued.

"I think that story was total hogwash, I think Joe Biden was unfairly attacked because of his son, but that doesn't mean it didn't belong in the public sphere."

The New York Post released a report in October 2020 detailing emails obtained from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden.

The emails show that Then-Vice President Joe Biden was introduced by his son to a top executive at the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings less than a year before the current U.S. president pressured Ukrainian government officials to fire a prosecutor that had been investigating the company's dealings.

Twitter blocked users from posting the link to the story and from sending it to others through direct messaging.

The platform had also suspended the Post and other accounts that attempted to tweet the story.
