Greg Steube (Republican from FL) attacked the U.K.-based Center for Countering Digital Hate for calling for silence for conservative organizations.
Representative Steube slammed the “CCP-sympathizing socialists” of the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), who he summarized “have made it their mission to suppress the facts and silence conservative organizations,” in a Nov. 3 tweetThe CCDH. The CCDH demanded that organizations which disagree with the radical leftist climate policy agenda be censored. CCDH listed the Media Research Center, along with eight other conservative outlets, among the so-called “toxic ten” sources condemned for not kowtowing to leftist politics. Steube proclaimed: “It’s past time for them to be held accountable for the left-wing front groups that they are. We cannot stand for this.”
Steube tweeted a blog from NewsBusters featuring Media Research Center Founder and President Brent Bozell who torched the study’s creators as “Digital brownshirts” who are “attacking conservative organizations for daring to have an honest debate on climate policy.” Bozell went on to warn that “These anti-free speech bigots want to shut down anyone who dares to disagree with them. To call for biased facts to silence scientific debate is absurd. This is yet another example of left-wing cancel culture born out anti-conservative bigotry. Stop Big Tech Cancel Culture!”
The CCDH organization behind the “toxic ten” attack is led by a socialist, CCDH Founder and CEO Imran Ahmed, who co-authored a book about “how to defeat” conservative ideas. Although the group advocates leftist eco-extremism it is still tied to communist China. The CCDH is funded by a leftist eco-group, the Oak Foundation, that financed a “greening” scheme for Communist China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
Steube, along with other conservative leaders like Sen. Ron Johnson (R.WI), recently spoke out about the worst aspects of contemporary political censorship during an online roundtable hosted at Bozell.
Steube called out social media companies for absurdly lopsided censorship: “We have a former president of the United States who is banned on social media platforms while the Taliban, the Iranians and other terrorist harboring organizations can use those platforms freely.”
Senator Johnson declared that Big Tech is not a marginal issue, and that it is hindering the American republic’s very ability to function: the censorship now “affects elections.” He then referred to scandals involving President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden and how they were hidden from the American public during the election by Big Tech: “Surveys have shown if Americans would have known about that, we wouldn’t be experiencing the disaster that is called the Biden administration.”
