House Asks FBI to go after Parler

Timothy Birdnow

The House Oversight Committee is demanding the FBI go after Parler for facilitating free speech.

From the article:

In a three-page letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, whom PresidentJoe Biden plans to keep in that leadership role, the Oversight Committee said the bureau should investigate the pro-Donald Trumpplatform "as a potential facilitator of planning and incitement related to the violence, as a repository of key evidence posted by users on its site, and as a potential conduit for foreign governments who may be financing civil unrest in the United States.”

Citing to a series of news reports and charging documents of accused riot participants, Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney(D-N.Y.) said there was ample evidence suggesting that the violence at the Capitol was planned on Parler in the days and weeks leading up to the attempted insurrection.

Attacking free speech and going after those who disagree with your political opinions is the hallmark of tyrants. That the Democrats want to use the force of law to destroy an entity that simply gives people the ability to communicate (and not censor them in favor of liberal opinions as Facebook does) is unprecedented in America. This looks more and more like the old Soviet Union every day.

There was nothing said when Antifa and Black Lives Matter were organizing on Facebook and via Twitter. Strange.
