Representative James Comer (R-KY) announced that the Republican House majority will be planning to investigate the alleged collusion between Twitter and the Biden administration prior to the 2020 election. Comer is the incoming chairman of the House Oversight Committee.
Last week, Elon Musk dropped a bombshell report on Twitter, showing evidence that Twitter actively worked with the Biden administration to deliberately censor the Hunter Biden Laptop story ahead of the 2020 election. The Twitter thread of the evidence was dubbed “The Twitter Files”, which has set the internet ablaze with controversy.

The report shows that Twitter was actively reviewing content and users on the platform at the request of the Biden administration. Particularly, when the New York Post ran a story days before the election about Hunter Biden’s laptop. Twitter employees forcibly suppressed the story, preventing millions from seeing it.
Following this report, Rep. Comer made a promise to investigate this censorship, indicating Twitter executives will be summoned to testify before Congress.
Comer stated in an interview with Fox News:
“Well, in January, Jason, when I take your old position as Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, I can promise you this, every employee at Twitter who was involved in suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story will have an opportunity to come before Congress and explain their actions to the American people. This was a huge story. … But this story’s just beginning, Jason, because we’re going to have every single person at Twitter that was involved in this in front of the House Oversight Committee as soon as possible.”
“[W]e knew that the Democratic National Committee was communicating with Twitter. We knew the Biden campaign was communicating with Twitter. That’s why, in April of this year, we, on the House Oversight Committee, requested that Twitter preserve all documents and correspondence between Twitter executives and the Democratic National Committee and the Biden campaign with respect to the Hunter Biden laptop story.”
Conservatives have always been skeptical of corporations and big tech companies and their political convictions, but this undeniable evidence has sparked outrage on the internet. Many Republicans have been adamantly calling for action to be taken against those responsible for this corruption.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene blasted those involved with the suppression in a series of tweets:
“We know it was and we knew all along. And so did they, which is why they broke laws to hide it all. But now the laptop is in our possession. They are criminals. Trump was right all along and will be vindicated.”
“Big Tech + Government + FBI Collusion = Violation of 1st Amendment, Election Interference, and Communism. The result of it all is Biden’s America Last Globalists Agenda.”

And so did they, which is why they broke laws to hide it all.
But now the laptop is in our possession.
They are criminals. Trump was right all along and will be vindicated. https://t.co/mt2MqhNKJ5

Many see this as an egregious subversion of free speech, where the executive branch and corporations can govern the public square. Despite the much anticipated “red wave” not materializing in November, the GOP still does have power within the House of Representatives to investigate the matter and shed more light on this corruption. What happens after that is to be determined.
