The Real Twitter Files: “Republicans and MAGA did it”

Feb 9, 2023

Elon Musk failed to include the OTHER SIDE of the “TwitterFiles,” This congressional hearing is just an opportunity to Smear political opponents by suggesting Twitter employees are pedophiles who work with the deep state. Some former employees have had to move, hire private security, etc, thanks to Elon’s doxxing of employees and Elon’s homophobic/pedophilic gaslighting.

It turns out, Nothing Elon put in the Twitter files is accurate, and it was nothing more than an attempt to hide republican interference at Twitter, and there is a DATABASE of evidence.

 

The “database” of efforts from the White Hose and hundreds of republicans who threatened, begged, and demanded Twitter delete SCORES of Tweets over five years.

Thanks to the Republican-led “You Can’t Suspend Me From Twitter” Congressional hearings, we now know Conservative/Republican interferences DWARFS the HuntTrumpden dick pick witch hunt.

At the heart of the bombshell reporting by Rolling Stone (and anyone with access to Google), The White House demanded Twitter remove Chrissy Teigen’s “Pussy Ass Bitch” tweet about Trump. There are hundreds of thousands of requests and emails to censor/remove posts they found “mean” or “insulting” to republicans or Trump, regardless of the truth.

TERABYTES of threats from Republicans in the form of a massive database that Elon, Matt Taibbi, And Bari Weiss forgot to tell us about. LOL.

Rolling Stone: WHEN THE WHITE House called up Twitter in the early morning hours of September 9, 2019, officials had what they believed was a serious issue to report: Famous model Chrissy Teigen had just called President Donald Trump “a pussy ass bitch” on Twitter — and the White House wanted the tweet to come down.

That exchange — revealed during Wednesday’s House Oversight Committee hearing on Twitter by Rep. Gerry Connolly — and others like it are nowhere to be found in Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” releases, which have focused almost exclusively on requests from Democrats and the feds to the social media company. The newly empowered Republican majority in the House of Representatives is now devoting significant resources and time to investigating this supposed “collusion” between liberal politicians and Twitter. Some Republicans even believe the release of the “Twitter Files” is the “tip of the spear” of their crusade against the alleged liberal bias of Big Tech.

But former Trump administration officials and Twitter employees tell Rolling Stone that the White House’s Teigen tweet demand was hardly an isolated incident: The Trump administration and its allied Republicans in Congress routinely asked Twitter to take down posts they objected to — the exact behavior that they’re claiming makes President Biden, the Democrats, and Twitter complicit in an anti-free speech conspiracy to muzzle conservatives online.

“It was strange to me when all of these investigations were announced because it was all about the exact same stuff that we had done [when Donald Trump was in office],” one former top aide to a senior Trump administration official tells Rolling Stone. “It was normal.”

In interviews with former Twitter personnel, onetime Trump administration officials, and other people familiar with the matter, each source recalled what could be described as a “hotline,” “tipline,” or large Twitter “database” of moderation and removal requests that was frequently pinged by the offices of powerful Democrats and Republicans alike.

The voluminous requests often came from high-ranking political appointees working in different departments, offices, and agencies in the Trump administration. But during both the Trump and Biden presidencies, these types of moderation requests or demands were routinely sent to Twitter by the staff of influential GOP lawmakers — ones with names like Kevin McCarthy and Elise Stefanik.

Oftentimes, requests would demand Twitter stop “shadowbanning” certain conservative accounts or that the company reinstate banned or suspended right-wing personas. Other times, offices of senior Trump administration officials would send emails seeking to remove tweets that they believed to be “hate speech” or death threats aimed at their principals. And over the years, the knowledgeable sources say, staffers for Republican officials would regularly flag to Twitter content that they believed violated the app’s terms of service or other policies, including on spreading “misinformation” or “disinformation.”

That sentiment was shared by those who’ve worked for Twitter. “Everybody worked the refs,” one source familiar with congressional requests to the social media company said. “Usually with the Republicans, most of the time rather than saying, ‘Why are you taking things down?’ it was, ‘You need to put things back up.’ It was, ‘Put me back, put me back.’ ”

In Teigen’s case, the White House’s attempt to get Twitter to remove criticism of the president was sparked by a late night exchange initiated by Trump. The then-president blasted musician “@johnlegend, and his filthy mouthed wife” for being insufficiently grateful to him for signing the criminal justice reform First Step Act. The White House’s removal request landed on the desk of Anika Collier Navaroli, who testified that her supervisors had informed her the White House wanted Twitter to evaluate the post. ”They wanted it to come down because it was a derogatory statement,” told the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.  

Despite their own past behavior, Republicans are using their newfound control of the House to probe Democrats’ and federal law enforcement agencies’ interaction with Twitter.

During the House Oversight Committee’s hearing on Twitter’s handling of the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story on Wednesday, Republicans thundered about what they claimed “collusion” between Twitter and supposedly hostile federal agencies like the FBI to suppress the distribution of the Post’s trove of private files from then-candidate Biden’s son.

The obvious irony here is, the sources note, that Republican leaders and elected officials have long been committing precisely the kind of “government interference” that they are now investigating, fundraising off of, and accusing Democrats and the so-called anti-Trump “Deep State” of perpetrating. Some of the loudest conservative and MAGA voices on Capitol Hill — who’ve been endlessly demanding taxpayer-funded, high-profile investigations into Big Tech “bias” and “collusion” — were themselves engaged in the behavior they now claim is colluding.

Elon’s Twitter Files were nothing BUT propaganda meant to convince YOU that the left is nothing but “Woke Stasi.”  This hearing is about painting Democrats and Twitter as “Woke Stasi” or “Dark left Operatives” who prevented Republicans from winning an election because Twitter wouldn’t allow Hunter Biden’s stolen dick pics on their platform.

Elon even tried to help that bullshit narrative yesterday amid a global Twitter meltdown by suggesting that democrats and liberals are “Stasi” with a link to a German movie because he’s all mysterious and creepy like that. (Open-ended, vaguery works when whipping up your Incel Compsiracy base).

In reality, Twitter was being threatened and attacked (legally, personally, and physically) by conservative lobby groups, lawyers, and the governing Republicans. Elon thinks he wins if he lays out some digital breadcrumbs and sides with the right by vague tweeting and forcing a few “Journalists” to selectively release information supportive of what he wants people to think. Unfortunately, real life exists, and he’s just been crowned King Shit of Turd Island.

A total and complete fraud.

Like Republican Qanon Jesus Freak Paul Gosar, who used his time in congress to have seizures and talk about Covid Misinformation being cool.

Or Large Marge, who desperately wanted to call the people who banned/blocked her “pedophiles.”

Which she did. Thanks to Elon.

Politicians/media rage about other people’s high crimes and misdemeanors while committing those same high crimes and misdemeanors. It’s most prevalent in Politics and Media. And like it or not, Social Media has been poisoned by politics and influence from jump street.

These “Hearings” are a) bait for idiots and b) an attempt for republicans to cover their tracks by accusing the other side of politics and social interference first. It’s not new and not specific to America. And whoever does it first looks like the winner to dumb people.

Politicians/media in Canada and the United States have been colluding with Twitter, FB, etc., for a long time.

In Canada, former CPC staffer/Twitter’s director of public policy, Michelle Austin, played that role for her Conservative friends. She was incredibly gracious to current and former political colleagues during her time at Twitter (before she was fired). And yes, I have lots of receipts.

In The US, Republicans played that role. Twitter had a database of demands, requests, and threats from republicans (who controlled government) to delete Tweets that made the President or others “look bad.”

Like Chrissy Tiegan’s Pussy Ass Bitch tweet.

Rep Balient put it succinctly – There is NO evidence of the Biden admin colluding with Twitter and the FBI. Zero. The MUSK/TAIBBI/WIESS Twitter Files disaster told us that already despite their Olympic effort to convince us otherwise.

What we do have on the record, thanks to these bullshit hearings, is a database of evidence that the Trump Administration tried to collude, bully and threaten Twitter, not democrats or “Libs,” as rednecks and hillbillys like to say.

The information we get on social media isn’t accurate or unbiased. It exists because it helps the person you put the news on Twitter. And Twitter doesn’t j st lean right; it always rewards right-leaning hatred. That’s how Twitter/FB algorithms work. Especially in North America. It’s a joke—a game you must understand if you use it. They jack you up to engage, and no one is more jacked up than Jesus Freaked losers fighting for their Lord and Savior. 

Conservatives need dumb rubes as foot soldiers, and these hearings go a long way to solidifying a dumb person’s victim status and fealty to the cause. Republicans and conservatives NEED this Kangaroo court display, and so does Elon. And it’s all bullshit.

It’s called astroturfing. That is gaslighting at its finest. And it’s fucking hilarious to me.

I’m still laughing at yesterday’s global blackout and the announcement of a new Tweet limit for Twitter accounts that don’t subscribe to BLUE so Elon can save $ on data storage. LOLZ.

Things are going great.
