Nothing will happen. This liar should be in jail but nothing will happen.
Not only do a vast majority of the US population know the governments been turned against him, even some of the politicians know it. How do they expect citizens to continue paying taxes and obeying laws, etc?
She didn't lie she said she was unaware… The thought the same thing as saying no
Also I would remind him that using Twitter is a privilege not a right so they can block him for any reason or no reason at all anytime they want to and he has no recourse because he is only on Twitter because they allow it
@@keithziegler8881 it’s not that peoples posts were removed or they were blocked by the platform. The issue is that the US government was picking out posts it deemed as needing to be censored and passing that information along to the platforms to do the censoring. They are circumventing a citizens, first men rights by having a private corporation stifling the speech. That’s Corporatocracy within a constitutional republic. And no one voted for Twitter. If that’s the case these platforms have to adhere to the same constitution that the recognized US government is meant to(which is clearly not occurring).
@@keithziegler8881 Except that the government paid social media companies to censor specific topics and people.
@keithziegler8881 except that she did lie because she was fully aware of it...and just because twitter is a private company doesn't mean that they should be able to violate anyone's rights.. especially when the government is pushing them to violate the rights of those that question their narrative or whatever else..I understand that is the law at the moment but it doesn't mean that it is right.. and nobody should be defending it either..I guarantee that if it were happening to you and your fellow leftist that you would have a problem with it.. especially if it were the trump administration requesting twitter do those things you all would lose your shit..but since its right leaning people it's happening to all of you hypocrites are ok with it..I'm so sick of the hypocrisy and double standards of the left..it truly is disgusting..smh
"Well, we are going to make you aware of that right now!" love it!!!
Yeah, he showed her.
I’d say the social contract between the government and citizens has been broken.
Understatement of all time.
Yep!
Null and voided.

That is a frightening statement. Where do we go from there?
"It's a conspiracy theory to say we censored anyone, but when we did censor people it was for a good reason, and I can't tell you what that reason would be."
The smugness of the witness is infuriating. Would love to know why she isn't facing perjury charges.
Well because she didn't lie and since Twitter is a private company any reason they give is a good reason as far as they're concerned because they can ban you for any reason or no reason at all. They can delete or censor any tweet that they want to because using Twitter is a privilege
So they decide what is or is not a good reason and if the Congressman disagrees that's too bad because he does not get a vote
Because she know the Democrat's TRIAD of TREASON: "DHS, DOJ, FBI" will protect her.
@@keithziegler8881Except that the government paid social media companies to censor specific topics and people.
@@keithziegler8881 Being a "private company" does NOT give you the right to violate the Constitution !!!
@@oldguy1528
Absolutely" not, thank you!
She is smirking; because she knows that Congress will not refer her for prosecution; and this Department of Justice will not prosecute her, for said perjury.
I think her obvious facelift always makes her look like that
This is the first time I've seen a Congressman actually call them a liar to their face. Love it.
Too bad nothing will come of it.
Too bad he is the one who is lying. The university of Nebraska took up these claims made by the study he quoted and found them to be massive misrepresentations of facts. Do you even know what the tweet was about? I highly doubt it
That would be called justice.
❤
There are 6 or 8 good ones in the whole Congress. And Massie is the best.
We DO NOT need Government to regulate social media.
We also DO NOT need social media to regulate government.
Call for a vote on that! LOL, EVERY business is regulated by multiple levels of Government, social media is not and will never be exempt from Regulation of its business practices. Never.
@@ydargeerhtbut they shouldn't be. That's the point. The Constitution does not grant such authority.
yes we fucking do
and how about you point us where it says it on the constitution
@@danielkinney8166
Flagging that as misinformation IS misinformation.
What was the study? Who did it? How do you know it is factual when massie has posted many things proven false
@@bigperm3853all the peer reviewed scientific data is out there. You can't be this far behind friend.....
@@mrbeez8631 data about what? No idea what report he is referring to. Neither does the cult but they sure act like they do...cracks me up
@@bigperm3853 if you have no idea whats going on here friend, then you're part of that "cult" you just referred to. Hours of CSPAN video on these specific hearings. Go catch up and educate yourself
@@bigperm3853 It is irreIevent if it is factuaI or not. The government MAY NOT require a private business to ban ANYTHlNG. That is fash zism. That is against the Constitution.
This shameless lying right to our face is distressing.
I guess perjury is okay now.
Say anything!
No no no no no it's only okay if you're a Democrat or supporting the Democrats
How is it lying?
@@arios1977 when they say they are unaware and yet the look on their face says the exact opposite. And there are lies of omission
Yes. When you have no moral base, lying is perfectly acceptable under any conditions.
When you do something and, then get caught doing it and, then when you're asked about it you give elusive answers to avoid the question. You've lied. If she is ever accused, she will plead the 5th. 100% truth.@@arios1977
Everyone knows that you can lie and say anything you want to these committees. We see it everyday with no one being held accountable!!!!!!! What a clown show!!!!!
What I find truly astonishing is the level of smugness people can have while openly lying. It would be interesting to have a full understanding of what's behind that smugness. What do those people know that they are so protected that they could outright lie and have nothing come of it?
How do these corrupt people keep getting away with this? Why aren't they punished?
Because they work for the people who wold actually be able to "punish". These hearings are all a joke, nothing will EVER happen to any of these people. Its a charade to make it look like they care about American people, and obviously they DO NOT!
The Biden Administration is in charge of the DoJ, so they won't investigate themselves.
The problem is there is no consequences for them doing this, therefore they keep doing it and will keep doing until there is a serious consequence like going to jail.
Then why isn't she being arrested?
Unfortunately, Congress doesn't have the authority to put her in jail. Only the DOJ does based on a referral to them. I hate that, but that's how it is
@@rrkunathwell once another country takes over( hopefully) they will decide for us.
@@freakyninja3545hopefully? What country would you like?
@@freakyninja3545 if our DOJ wasn't weaponized against us, she would be in jail. Sadly, the DOJ only does what this administration and the Dems want.
@@urbugnmetoday3183 well ask me this then....why aren't we no longer a country?
I thought if you lie in court or to Congress you go to jail
Only if you are a republican
Liberals anthem; rules for thee, but not for me.
Apparently not anymore as long as you're a Democrat
The Democrat's TRIAD of TREASON: "DHS, DOJ, FBI" make sure no democrat goes to jail.
Only if doj decides to charge you
Honestly, I don’t know what’s worse, the corrupt government in the US or the corrupt government in Canada. It’s all shocking and shameful.
or the corrupt government in the UK
That's a close one to call!
You know it's bad when Mexico seems to be the least corrupt and fascistic of all of the countrys in North America.
They're one in the same both moving to New World Order and we cannot allow them to keep doing this.
I would say they are one in the same , if you notice they act on the same principles and timeline .
Not enough thumbs up on this one.
Good Job Congressman.
Corruption thrives without rule of law and punishment for breaking the rule of law.
Thomas Massie is one of the best and brightest in Congress on either side.
You think his crying about a private company’s term of service is one of the bestest and brightest? You have low standards
He is the Best, period. I have never voted for a Republican in my life and I am almost 50 and he has my FULL SUPPORT.
You’re kidding, right? The Republicans are a never ending clown show.
😂
@@markosterman4974 I agree about most of the party but not about Thomas Massie and I HAVE been paying a lot of attention for a few years now to him. He is better than every single Democrat and Republican in the House and Senate.
"False Testimony = Traitor"
Well no that's not traitor, stop using big words you don't understand.
Besides she said they did have a good reason and they did… Because that they determined that his tweet needed to be censored. Since it is only at their discretion and their discretion is the final say, any reason they give is a good reason or none at all because they say so
That's what comes from ownership
Relax ... Take a Chill Pill ... @@keithziegler8881
dennis, in this instance, the g0vernment was directing twits to censor and IabeI information they did not approve. Twit then becomes an agency of the government and it is then fash zism. It's irreIevant what was stated, it's that the government directed it's agent to foIIow orders.
@@truthmatters8241
Wrong
Misinformation was labeled misinformation that that as they had every right to do so in the government had every right to request them to do so
The government has every right to protect people from misinformation.
If you don't agree with that weld to be cared because you be wrong
This is one independent voter that will never vote for ANY democratic representative ever again.
Becaus it doesn't matter how independent you are if you are still easily manipulated by Right wing propaganda and rhetoric.
@@scottfarner5100how’s what we just watched “right wing propaganda”? Lol. You leftists wouldn’t know fascist or authoritarian rule if it slapped you in the face. Got to bot harder than that.
English comrade...english.
@@roaddemon20011 wow my phone decides to have a mind of its own. Don't buy a Samsung Galaxy.
@@scottfarner5100we are all subject to propaganda…. The problem is that 90%+ of our media is left leaning…. ABC, cbs, nbc, msnbc, cnn, bbc, pbs…. All left leaning. So please tell us where all the right wing propagandists are employed!
What is the upshot. They lie. You call them out. They say, oh well. And the crap just keeps going on. How about some punishment.
Term Limits, reviews yearly, audit Tax Returns. If not doing their jobs, released with no pay, perks or pensions. Just like in a real job, business or corporation
How is punishment going to be handed out when the departments with such power are the very departments participating in their unconstitutional activity? Democrat's TRIAD of TREASON: "DHS, DOJ, FBI".
@@susancohen8009agreed. Also, they shouldn't be allowed to just shut down and keep their pay. Republicans love doing that. Time to just throw the whole thing away and start over. Politics shouldn't be a career for anybody.
👏🏻 Thomas Massie!
These hearings are a joke, name one instance of anyone being held accountable for their actions
The smugness that this woman displays is so aggravating. Like they know what is best for us and that I am too stupid to hear both sides of a subject and that I cannot decide for myself which to believe?
Seems like being a liar is a requirement to be a democrat now days . He called her lie out .
She didn't lie, his tweet was blocked for reason and they have every right to do so. Using Twitter is a privilege, not a right you need to remember that
@@keithziegler8881 Beautiful use of Journalism's most dishonest yet powerful tool, LIES BY OMISSION to omit it was the GOVERNMENT intimidating social media to censor people.
Are you effing kidding? Lying is like breaking for Republicans. You have learned so much from your Orange Jesus.
@@keithziegler8881 Except that the government paid social media companies to censor specific topics and people.
It helps…sad
Ah yes, the principled former republican. She's a regular on Joy Reid and Nicole Wallace. She's sitting there just giddy, thinking about her next appearance where she talks about this "unhinged rant" from Thomas Massie.
Olivia Troye, what the heck happened to her nose, what kind of botched surgery do you need to get a nose like that?
I've lost all faith in our Congress. Nothing gets done, no action against criminals are taken.
Your loss of faith is misplaced. Congress has no authority to arrest anyone and put them in jail. Such power falls to the very corrupt Democrat's TRIAD of TREASON: "DHS, DOJ, FBI" who are directly involved in this unconstitutional activity.
Congress can only have hearings it the doj that brings charges so
This is where Democracy has really been lost. This makes Jan 6 look like childs play.
RFK or Vivek would do something about it. I can't figure out why Trump has such a cult following considering he had four years and did virtually nothing about this stuff despite his adamant claims he would drain the swamp..
What the world needs is more over empowered snarky Karen's in positions of power.
I hope I'm catching a lot of sarcasm in that comment. And if I am I agree with you.
@@dianasims6819 Yeah, i have real and powerful women in my life. Skydivers, accomplished leaders and inventors. I despise little in life more than over empowered mediocre people of the affirmative action crowd that consume positions of authority that actually need accomplished leaders. But those real women are typically not leftists or feminists, so they are attacked. Disgusting what the left has become.
I have been saying for some time now for voters to stop voting for these women that think they know everything.
@@mikelee6936 So.... that would exclude exactly how man women? :) caugh all caugh....
"Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech." Benjamin Franklin.
The people in charge supposedly are not aware of or do not remember anything they should know in order to do their job. And keep up with us.
She's not aware of it. No, of course not, as she will not let any information come to her that she would not like.
Well there even lucky she's there. Since Twitter is a private company they don't answer to Congress. They can band, block, sensor, or remove anything they want, anytime they want, for any reason they want, or no reason at all.
Congress doesn't have any authority to do anything about it and Twitter knows it so Twitter is basically giving them all a collective middle finger and saying, "piss off, we don't answer to you."
It's incredible how often people are caught with absolute lies in their testimony. They will say they are unaware of something, but then email service about them discussing it previously. Somehow these people are never held to account. The system of the uniparty is an absolute joke.
One of the disadvantages of the "electronic age" in which we live is that those who are attempting to place themselves in positions to block the ability to speak freely is that they don't have to face the consequences of their actions. In the past, before the "twitterverse", if a person tried to shut up a citizen they would instantly have to face the consequences of that action. More's the pity that it isn't currently the standard.
Twitter is private property, saying twitter can't ban someone without having a reason or are subject to upholding freedom of speech on their platform is like saying you need a reason to ban someone from your property. As much as I hate twitter I respect their rights to decide who interacts on their property, just as you and every other American citizen has. Imagine if the government decided one day that you need to let all protesters on your property if you allowed a specific group of protestors to use your property at one point, or if you have one presidential candidate's sign in your yard then you have to have all of them. That doesn't sound like freedom of speech to me.
The key issue isn't that twitter is a private company. That is quite cIear.
GOvernment use of a private company to do as directed makes that company an agent of the government. That's fash zism. Other regimes have done this.
@duewhat9815 they gave up their private business when they allowed people in government to direct them to ban things and accounts that served them politically , that is against the law to have a private business violate the 1st amendment by proxy .there is case law on this
@@truthmatters8241but when it takes money for a service (3 million ) from the fbi to ban or remove people's platform that is Twitter doing violation of rights for the government and that illegal and that forfeits their protection of private business when the do bidding of political party
I love when she gets all squinty-eyed like, "I can't see it well enough to figure out which lie I'm gonna tell."
I do take some pride and solace in the fact that two of the very few patriots in Washington, D.C., Thomas Massie and Rand Paul, represent my great Commonwealth.
I just watched a good video with Andy Barr on it too. He did very good. Haven't seen him much
Its time for accountability! For all of THEM!
Massie is AWESOME! Just as DR-SEN. Rand Paul as well... Them Kentucky boys are great. Now we just need to rid the senate of mitch mcconnell
How is crying over what a private company does “awesome”?
No they are both bellends
@@arios1977The Demokrats were the ones crying about what Twitter was doing and that’s why they were pressuring them to censor and that is NOT awesome.
I'm gIad he's proving that twits was acting as a government agency taking orders. It's fash zism and against the Constitution.
Why have them swear under oath they don’t tell the truth.
Nothing will happen to this lady. Just a waste of time. No one ever held responsible.
Her logic is so telling. 'If the Tweet was flagged, it must have been for a reason.' This is the same thinking as, 'If the cops killed that person, he must have been guilty', or 'If the state executed that person, he must have done a terrible crime.' They are deeply cowardly people who cannot face the terrifying possibility that the system is at fault, so they blame the victim instead. If the system commits an atrocity, then that atrocity must have been deserved.
Thank god somebody has the b@lls to call out lies
Well there's a several of them doing that but they're not getting anything accomplished by it because nothing is done
Thomas massie is slowly becoming my favorite congress people.
Its happening everywhere we look. Actors working against the constitution striking out at citizens and citizen law makers in our beloved United States of America. It saddens and sickens me. We can't count on the Justice system to right this wrong.😡
What actors are working against the Constitution? This I got to hear
Shane, spot on.
Massive is awesome and I want him to keep going!!!
If her testimony is false, then she should be charged with a crime lying to Congress and sent to prison. Why hasn’t that happened?
They don't care. They WILL do it to anybody to get their desired results. It will keep happening and get worse until true accountability is handed down.
They all need to be in prison. NO $ that is too easy and NO PUNISHMENT AT ALL.
Massie would've made as good a speaker as Mike Johnson is going to be. Mo
If she’s not aware of it, then she agrees she doesn’t have the full picture. If she doesn’t have the full picture, then speaking in absolutes shows she is either incompetent or biased. Given her body language I’d say she’s biased.
So what if it is misinformation or just plain untrue? Counter it with facts. Don't censor it.
that's just it, they couldn't
I think the community notes section of X is the perfect example of this. UA-cam's version of having the official government version of climate change or vaccines or whatever is an absolute laughable joke.
And then her response is cut off… Unbiased media right here!
Yeah right I'm 59 and don't believe the media has ever been unbiased. As long as I can remember they've backed Democrats 100%
I hope she gets charged with contempt.
Censored for telling the truth that they don't want the public to see... She should be charged for lying to Congress... 💥
She is a LIAR plain and simple
“Condpiracy theory” does not imply something is untrue
Actually it does. The sole purpose of the CIA coining the term after JFKs assassination was to color as crazy all the people who said Oswald was a patsy for the CIA. By its very definition, a 'conspiracy theory' implies a person is lying.
Maybe not but it's usually way off base and out in outer space somewhere
The major networks have never correctly articulated them in the first place! That conspiracy theorists exist at all is stupid and insane.
It’s called an opinion, we all have them, and get this we all have different thoughts! Oh my imagine the Democrats voter shock! People have different opinions aaaahhhhhhh quick censor it quick! Or someone’s feeeeeeeelings might be ouchie. Booohooo.
Mike, that's accurate. It seems IateIy that it's the IabeI the dimwitted use when they don't comprehend reaIity, even when provided evidence.
@@jamescook7713 That's true. Time and time again the truth deniers are proven wrong. LuckiIy there aren't as many in the fringeIeftKKKuIt as they want you to beIieve.

God bless you, Thomas Massie keep exposing these people have no idea what they’re doing
Problem is nothing the witness said was false.
...said the other pathological liar, @chriskelly1890
YOU SEE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE, YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK.
@@elbuggoright dude wtf is wrong with these people!?
@@freakyninja3545 No shame, no morals. As long as they win, it will all be justified.
That's right!!!
No, they don’t! This has literally gone on for decades!
So she lies under oath...and 0.0 will happen....THAT is the problem.
If the witness lies, Put them in jail. If you do not, then you are part of the problem.
She's pure evil and would censor anyone she disagrees with if given the power.
As an Independent voter, I will be voting for #Trump2024
Tired of these hearings with no penalties whatsoever!!!😕
God Bless Thomas Massie!! Kentucky is luckto have both him & Rand Paul.
💯❤️🇺🇲
We have become WAY TOO COMFORTABLE with censorship.
Its time to shut down this government overreaxh
Her smugness tells me there were no lessons learned... and that nothing will change.
Why is this such a different thing to understand: don't violate terms of service and you won't be flagged.
Damn right, they can do it to anybody. AND THEY DID!!
And nothing ever happens
No one ever has to face punishment
Thomas Massie may be the only Rep with integrity.
We didn't tell anyone to remove anything. We just "advised" them to remove it.
The school bully didn't steal your lunch money, he advised you to give it to him.
And they should do it to anybody. Disinformation should be removed or labeled. That word salad at the end means nothing.
They showed her the receipt, and she was still smug.
Omg we should all be scared. Really scared - of our own government.
As usual...no penalty for perjury. What's the point of hearings, when there are never any consequences?
Grandstanding, thats all this has turned into
The thing that is quite apparent is her smug, condescending self superiority 🤨.
Jim Jordan's facial expressions r priceless 👍🇺🇸
Wow. Massie cuts right to the heart.
Say she is correct. It would still be alarming that she doesn’t share a concern. It’s illegal for government to control speech through private companies. And the reason is at the core of America.
The word "misinformation" makes me recoil so hard. I still can't get over it. What the hell happened to simply calling false stuff LIES?
Why aren’t they being charged?
Unfortunately none of these liars are under oath.
At what point is a person held responsible for lying under oath?
Why do I see people lie under oath in the senate and in congress a the time. I am not talking about someone suffering from cognitive dissonance.
Send them to jail immediately
Piece of work
This is why I love Honest Massie.
Until her backside is in jail this is just theater!
At least you have one good Congressman.
I sure wish our Conservative leaders would stop talking and start acting 😒
I’m concerned she believes speech should be limited based on what is currently believed to be “accurate”. Wasn’t that the same logic used against Galileo?
That's the part I hate the most about these people. All of the liberal gains came about because groups were allowed to state their case and be heard. But as soon as they got in power, they won't allow the same mechanism. The hypocrisy is astounding. They are completely morally bankrup while believing the opposite.
Imagine being so smug while clearly being the evil one... Guess her "Hanz, are we the baddies?" moment hasn't come yet, or it did and she didn't care...
Truth is the enemy of evil.
Perjury is extinct as an offense. These people take the oath and lie lie lie.
No penalities means no fear and anything goes. Like Harry Truman said,
"The big boys never pay. You do".
Remember when there was accountability in our government? Me neither.
Lol facts. People act like this is something new. Both the left and right are traaaash
This woman's attitude says it all. We are at war.
Olivia Troye needs a whole lot more public attention
Nobody, and I mean nobody, goes to jail or even gets punished in any way for lying to Congress. That's why we see it done all day, everyday.
Nothing worse than a liar other than one who won't admit it after they've been caught.
