On the Salem Media Group news program, THIS WEEK ON THE HILL with Tony Perkins, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Zuckerberg’s admission to the House Judiciary Committee merely “confirmed what we have known for over three years was happening.”

Johnson says Biden campaign operatives in 2020—and Administration officials in 2021—pressured Facebook to censor messages that Biden and Harris didn’t like; this included successful efforts to block 2020 posts relating to the infamous Hunter Biden laptop and topics questioning Covid 19 protocols. “They worked very vigorously with social media platforms…meeting regularly with them and even providing lists of persons and messages they wanted censored and silenced from the Internet.
