Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna backs The Post, says Twitter was 'wrong to censor newspapers'
2022-12-12
[NYPOST] The House Democrat who wrote to Twitter about his concerns the company was suppressing free speech after it blocked The Post’s blockbuster reporting on Hunter Biden said Sunday he’s open to holding hearings in Congress about press freedom.

"It is wrong to censor newspapers. It is wrong to censor journalists," Rep. Ro Khanna
... Ro stands for Rohit — his people are Hindus from the Punjab, but he was born in Philadelphia. He’s been described as a shouty progressive, though he identifies as a progressive capitalist, of which there is a considerable constituency these days, especially in California...
of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, said on Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures."

"The New York Post hasn’t written a kind thing about me in my six years in Congress. They’re a conservative-point-of-view paper," he continued. "But that doesn’t mean that you can stop publishing their pieces or articles or censor their journalists from sharing stories."

Twitter’s suppression of The Post’s October 2020 expose on President Biden’s son "just offended the basic principles that our country is based on," Khanna told host Maria Bartiromo.

#3  Twitter censored not just newspapers. Elon Musk is there sorting it out now. Hopefully he can afford to buy the NYT and sort them out as well.

#1  His views sound sensible. He probably ought to be put on the list of folks that need a cognitive evaluation. I get the feeling that he has the potential for intelligent thought. Something is likely wrong. Assign AOC to proxy vote for him for the duration of the Lame Duck session.
