Joe Biden has put the former White House official who spearheaded an unlawful social media censorship effort in charge of an anti-“misinformation” operation involving hundreds of staff and volunteers. They will be tasked with monitoring online platforms.
Rob Flaherty was instrumental in the Biden regime’s campaign to pressure social media platforms including Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter (now X) to censor the likes of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tucker Carlson, and generally restrict the speech of Americans expressing lawfully-held opinions online.
The courts ruled the pressure campaign violated the First Amendment after a case brought by the attorneys general for Missouri and Louisiana, with a judge deeming it “arguably… the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history.”
Nevertheless, President Biden continued to praise and promote Flaherty, and his elevation to a new “misinfo” role on his reelection campaign suggests he is likely to redouble his efforts, this time in a notionally party political capacity rather than a governmental one.
