Fed up with the repeated censorship of his work, Wisconsin
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson penned a letter to YouTube CEO Susan
Wojcicki demanding the Big Tech company answer for its
deliberate attempts to silence him online.
For more than a year, YouTube censors have suppressed, banned,
and limited content from Johnson and his team. These attempts to
limit Johnson’s reach aren’t just censorship, they are blatant
meddling in Johnson’s reelection chances.
Big Tech’s efforts to subdue Johnson’s rigorous commitment to
exposing the truth are joined by corporate media and Democrats,
both of which are working to ensure that the Wisconsin
Republican is replaced by a radical Democrat this fall.
Knowledge about Johnson’s work in the Senate is key to his
reelection chances but if Big Tech’s track record suggests
anything, there’s nothing stopping companies like YouTube from
privately limiting key information voters need to formulate an
opinion about Johnson and his opponent.
As Johnson documents in his letter, Big Tech was more than
willing to publicly blacklist the senator over discussions about
Covid-19, early treatments, the jab, and the 2020 election.
“YouTube has displayed a troubling track record of censoring a
sitting United States Senator, the proceedings of the United
States Senate, journalists that interview me, and the display of
data that is entirely generated from U.S. government health
agencies,” Johnson explained. He demanded that Google-owned
YouTube cough up documents by Oct. 5 related to the company’s
long history of hiding Johnson’s work from the public.
At the behest of Democrat-controlled federal agencies, YouTube
wielded its censorship power against Johnson during crucial
moments. That included banning him from uploading new content
for days at a time.
In January 2021, YouTube denied Americans the right to explore
questions about early Covid-19 treatments by removing footage of
a U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Committee hearing from the senator’s YouTube page. Days later,
YouTube took down the same video, which garnered nearly 8
million views, from a Fox News YouTube channel.
YouTube justified the censorship to The Federalist by claiming
the video was “removed for violating our COVID-19 misinformation
policy,” something the company admitted it developed to comply
with demands from unelected government employees.
In October 2021, YouTube removed yet another HSGAC hearing from
Johnson’s page. That time, Johnson says, YouTube claimed the
clip featuring a congressional discussion on public record about
election integrity and laws “alleges widespread fraud or errors
that changed the outcome of the 2020 US Presidential Election.”
“The video was uploaded on December 20, 2020, meaning YouTube
waited nearly a year to remove the video,” Johnson noted in his
letter.
Just one month later, YouTube personalized its vendetta by
suspending Johnson’s account over a Covid-19 roundtable he
hosted. In it, several highly credentialed, world-recognized
medical experts “discussed the importance of natural immunity,
heard stories on the disastrous consequences of vaccine
mandates, highlighted the lack of transparency from the federal
health agencies, and gave a voice to the vaccine injured.”
Other things Big Tech didn’t want Americans to know about
Johnson included his interview about vaccine mandates and “the
FDA’s rushed approval of the vaccination for children” with
Wisconsin talk show host Dan O’Donnell and his speech at the
Milwaukee Press Club newsmaker luncheon about how “ivermectin
and hydroxychloroquine are both safe and effective drugs.”
YouTube didn’t just penalize Johnson for those comments but also
extended its suspensions to O’Donnell, who posted the relevant
interview on his website.
YouTube’s interference with election outcomes by manipulating
public opinion is not lost on Americans searching for answers
about Covid and election integrity, nor on Johnson. In fact, his
letter shows how Big Tech censorship is consistently brandished
against facts that might lead people to vote for Republicans,
and not against facts that would lead to voting for Democrats.
It’s likely not a coincidence that a major lawsuit recently
exposed the Democrat-run White House has been secretly telling
companies including Twitter, Google, and Facebook specific
information to hide from Americans.
That’s why, during a recent HSGAC hearing, Johnson asked why
Democrats’ false statements were never flagged as
“misinformation.” President Joe Biden has repeatedly lied that
you can’t get the virus, be hospitalized, or die from Covid if
you’re vaccinated but he’s faced no punishment from social media
moderators. Big Tech execs from YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, and
Facebook, however, never “even attempted to answer” acknowledge
Johnson’s inquiry.
“Who do you think you are to censor information from eminently
qualified doctors who had the courage and compassion to treat
Covid patients?” Johnson asked during the hearing. “You guys
bear a fair amount of responsibility for hundreds of thousands
of people not being treated — and I would say probably dying,
that didn’t have to die. Hope you’re proud of yourselves.”

President Biden lied to the American public about the
effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Yesterday I asked big tech execs if they ever removed his false
statements or labeled it “misinformation.”
Their response: ??????
Corruption at its finest. They should be ashamed.

Big Tech’s acts of information suppression against Johnson
aren’t just concerning, they are deliberate election meddling.
Controlling what voters can learn about issues of public
importance and candidates’ stances on them is a way of
controlling election outcomes.
When voters don’t have access to the full story, they can’t make
an informed choice. They believe they are choosing, but if Big
Tech controls what messages people can read, voters’ choices are
predetermined by these huge companies that obey a Democrat-
controlled White House and federal bureaucracy.
Johnson’s reelection bid this November is reportedly tight. No
one knows how tight it would be if Big Tech wasn’t controlling
what Wisconsin voters are allowed to learn about his record —
and his opponent. And that’s a huge problem.
