Democrats on the House subcommittee panel probing the 'weaponization' of the federal government,' and the subsequent release of the 'Twitter Files' were accused by Chairman Jim Jordan of bullying two journalists testifying before the committee Thursday.
The House ranking member Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands) gave opening statements, including dismissive remarks about Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger, who were given unprecedented access to Twitter's internal discussions after Elon Musk bought the company in October 2022.
Their investigation helped create the now infamous 'Twitter Files,' which alleges a deep connection between Big Tech and government agencies in an attempt to quell conservative voices.
'The Republicans have brought two of Elon Musk's public scribes,' declared Plaskett and alluded that they were selected as stooges for the GOP.
