Joe Biden Continues To Weaponize The Federal Government Against His Political Opponents In Unprecedented Ways

On Tuesday, the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government released a report highlighting how Joe Biden has weaponized the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in an unprecedented way to pressure Twitter, Elon Musk, and target journalists who have reported on the “Twitter Files.” 
 
According to the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government report, the FTC has made more than 350 specific demands to Twitter since Musk acquired the company, including knowing the identities of journalists engaging with Twitter.
 
There is no basis in the FTC’s statutory mission for these demands and appear to be the result of a partisan pressure campaign by the Biden Administration against individuals responsible for exposing Twitter’s collusion with the federal government to censor conservatives. 
 
In 2022, Musk brought Twitter and took action to reorient Twitter around free speech. Before Musk acquired the platform, Twitter had faced numerous credible accusations of censoring conservatives and shadow banning conservative accounts in favor of pushing woke radical Far Left propaganda. 
  
According to the report
 
“The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is orchestrating an aggressive campaign to harass Twitter and deluge it with demands about its personnel decisions in each of the company’s departments, every internal communication relating to Elon Musk, and even Twitter’s interactions with journalists.”

“The timing, scope, and frequency of the FTC’s demands to Twitter suggest a partisan motivation to its action. When Musk took action to reorient Twitter around free speech, the FTC regularly followed soon thereafter with a new demand letter.”
 
“There is no logical reason, for example, why the FTC needs to know the identities of journalists engaging with Twitter. There is no logical reason why the FTC, on the basis of user privacy, needs to analyze all of Twitter’s personnel decisions. And there is no logical reason why the FTC needs every single internal Twitter communication about Elon Musk.”
 
MAKE NO MISTAKE: Joe Biden is using the FTC to pressure Twitter, Musk and journalists because they are not willing to bow down to Biden, the Biden Administration and Far Left Democrats’ censorship demands.
