REPORT: Biden White House Pressured Social Media To Censor Tucker Carlson

It is now coming to light that the Joe Biden White House pressured Facebook to censor FOX News host Tucker Carlson.

Once again, a Democrat is doing exactly what they accuse Republicans of doing.

They apparently didn’t like something Tucker was saying about vaccines.

White House Pressed Facebook To Censor Tucker Carlson, Document Reveals

The White House pressed Facebook to censor Fox News host Tucker Carlson for saying “vaccines” “don’t work,” according to a document released by Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry of Louisiana.

“Since we’ve been on the phone – the top post about vaccines today is [T]ucker Carlson saying they don’t work. Yesterday it was Tomi Lehren [sic] saying she won’t take one,” White House Director of Digital Strategy Rob Flaherty reportedly said in an April 14, 2021 email to an unidentified Facebook employee, which was posted on Twitter by Landry.

Landry along with Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sued the Biden administration in federal court on May 5, claiming that members of the administration colluded with social media companies to suppress debate on the 2020 presidential election, the COVID-19 pandemic and other issues. The court ordered the Biden administration to turn over communications between officials and the tech companies in July.

“This is exactly why I want to know what ‘Reduction’ actually looks like – if ‘reduction’ means ‘pumping our most vaccine hesitant audience with [T]ucker Carlson saying it doesn’t work’ then… I’m not sure it’s reduction!” Flaherty continued in the document released by Landry.

This is outrageous.

So the Biden WH directed Big Tech to censor Tucker Carlson. Not only does this sound like an actual threat to press freedom, but it's a dangerous violation of the 1st Amendment.

Will anyone in the liberal media come to Tucker’s defense?

Don’t count on it.
