Trump White House Asked Twitter to Take Down Chrissy Teigen Burn

Twitter was suppressing free speech....at the behest of the Trump White House.

In the first of what might be a a bunch of maybe this investigation was not a good idea moments, turns out then Trump White House asked Twitter to take down some mean tweets.

Rather, some derogatory tweets aimed at the president.

I x'ed out the hilarious, though vulgar, parts of the tweets.

In a sign that Republicans are definitely in charge of the House now, former Twitter executives were hauled before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday morning to explain why the platform temporarily stopped users from tweeting a New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop back in 2020. But Democratic representative Gerry Connolly wasn’t really interested in the GOP’s line of questioning toward witness Anika Collier Navaroli, the former senior expert on Twitter’s U.S. safety-policy team.

Instead, Connolly wanted information on a late-night exchange between Donald Trump and celebrities who were making fun of him — a constant dynamic of his presidency. Connolly noted that in September 2019, Trump “heckled two celebrities on Twitter, John Legend and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, and referred to them as musician John Legend and his filthy-mouthed wife.” An hour later, Teigen escalated the name-calling, referring to Trump as a “xxxxx xxx xxxxx.”

Connolly then asked Navaroli to refer to her notes on the matter, which stated that the White House immediately reached out to Twitter, demanding the tweet be taken down. Navaroli said she recalled hearing that “we had received a request from the White House to make sure that we evaluated this tweet and that they wanted it to come down because it was a derogatory statement directed toward the president.”

“I thought that was an inappropriate action by a government official, let alone the White House,” Connolly said. “But it wasn’t Joe Biden, about his son’s laptop. It was Donald Trump, because he didn’t like what Chrissy Teigen had to say about him.”

Aside from proving Connolly’s point about the hypocrisy of Republican allegations that conservative issues are being censored on social media, the tweet is further evidence that Trump can dish out insults with the best of them but can’t handle the jabs when they’re hurled his way. Thankfully for him, Teigen deleted the tweet and his new social network is less friendly to Trump slander.

 

that's like 1 VS 1000s
Try harder!

 

We’re only hypocrites sometimes!
Most of the censorship requests came from the Trump admin.

 

Have you a link to these thousands?

 

This could be some savory poetic justice if the more they dig, the worse it gets for Trump and his supporters.

 

about 1000 of them. I'm not your secretary though. Laziness is not good for the soul. You won't find them in your left wing compromised google though as easily. I suggest trying duckduckgo

 

How do I know if your claim is true without a citation?

lemme take a wild guess..gonna complain about the source? I got 999 more.

 

Was Trump, while leader of the free world, so delicate, so fragile that his staff had to call Twitter because a model said something vulgar, though apparently accurate, about him?

 

That does not support the claim. Try again?

 

HYPOCRISY Is as Hypocrisy Does...
Same Old Story...
It is OK if We Do It...
And "1 out of 1000"?
Based on what I have seen of "MAGA Math":
"1 out of 1000" = "Half" the Tweets on Twitter..

 

plenty of examples. I don't like dealing with people that ask for something, then get it, then lie about it. Plenty examples in that article. Also, you replied so fast you barely had time to read it.

I took you seriously and you wasted my time. what the heck is your problem man? its so pathetic to deny it when its right there in WRITING

 

Careful! Didn't you know math is now "racist"?

 

Okay

 

Too funny and totally accurate.

If conservatives had anything worthwhile to tweet we would all consider it and then discuss it together. Conservatives though have not had anything worthwhile to say since Kemp died.

 

If? LOL, the GOP will dig their graves these next 2 years and it will be a delight to watch it happen in real time. LMAO

 

Chrissy wasnt censored.

 

Requests. So it’s ok to want censorship so long as you fail? Lol

 

And you'll get the same blank stare 999 more time too

 

There back to going all in on abortion again, and this time unlike KS they won't allow the people to vote on it.

 

A sign of what's to come with Gym Jordan's hearings.



'Jim Jordan Makes A Case Against Himself At Twitter Hearing'

'Chairman Jordan, who called for the hearing, clowned himself and became the best defense Democrats had on the issue.'

Snip:

"My, my, my, what happens when you hold a hearing and can't prove your point?" Connolly said.

That brought some laughter to the chamber.

I've never seen a Chairman of a House Committee who called for said hearing, destroy his own case in just a few minutes.

This is how completely bankrupt House Republicans are. Actual facts NEVER help their case."

Works for seditious coups as well.... If it didn't work, it didn't happen...

 

If Twitter "took down every derogatory statement directed toward the president" during the Trump years, it would have become an early version of Truth Social...

 

The funniest thing about the conservatives today is that they desperately want to be victims. Victims of everything, its as if they are jealous of the people they once persecuted. I think they wake up every day and say to themselves " Lets look at the news and find a way to cry that we are being treated like shiit." Then they blast it and we apparently have to explain to them that they are absolutely bonkers. Tomorrow they do it again.
