MTG Goes Nuclear Against Former Twitter Exec For Banning Conservatives While Allowing Child Porn


Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) tore into three former Twitter executives during a House Oversight and Reform hearing on Wednesday, telling them that she was glad they were fired from the platform.

Twitter’s former chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, former deputy general counsel James Baker and former head of trust and safety Yoel Roth, appeared before the committee hearing titled “Protecting Speech from Government Interference and Social Media Bias, Part 1: Twitter’s Role in Suppressing the Biden Laptop Story.”

The former executives are among several top Twitter officials who left the company or were fired after Elon Musk bought the platform.

Greene, who spent all of her allotted time speaking, rather than asking questions, sounded like she had a personal score to settle, tearing into Roth especially for allowing child porn to flourish on the platform, while conservatives like her were banned.

“You can consider your speech cancelled during my time because you cancelled mine,” Greene told the former Twitter execs, before calling them out for banning her personal campaign account during an election year.

“January 2, 20[2]2, you permanently banned my Twitter account. This is the account where I would put my campaign ads on, raise money on, fight back when attacked with lies, and be able to talk with my voters in my district. But you banned it,” MTG declared.

She noted later, “you didn’t ban or shadowban my opponent. No, you did that to me,” and that was wrong, and it was against the law.”

MTG accused the trio of coordinating with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FBI, CIA, and other outside groups to censor conservatives by permanently banning or shadowbanning their accounts.

Greene went on to blast the former execs for censoring doctors who were trying to tell the truth about COVID treatments, parents trying to blow the whistle on radical school LGBTQ or CRT policies, and people who questioned the legitimacy of...

  1. MTG is right. The only issue I have is getting these people charged for it, in from of a proper jury and Judge that will convict them, and a proper prosecutor that will help to convict. I doubt that will happen as we have seen the FBI, US attorneys, and Judges do with the J6 people.

  3. as much as I agree with her in principle, MTG still needs to read the U.S. Constitution: "Congress shall make no law ... or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..."
    Twitter is not Congress: it is a privately-owned company, even though it makes laws that do affect the rights of it's users.

    2. And that’s fine until the government funding and partnership, where the private Twitter does the government’s bidding to silence and/or monitor people. The best way to ensure government isn’t working in the shadows is to ensure there aren’t any.
