The House Held Its Pile On Twitter Hearings!

Former Twitter workers listen to Republicans belittle them.

Before Elon Musk's stench, Twitter was once a popular social media platform for people to share their thoughts and express themselves through micro blogs of then 180 now 240 characters.

Musk bought Twitter in October 2022 and has taken it into a direction that many fear will ruin his reputation as well as the company.

When Jack Dorsey left the company again, he appointed Parag Agrawal to run the company and clean up the noise the platform had during the Washed Up 45 years.

Washed Up 45 was permanent suspended from Twitter shortly after the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Twitter mandated some rules that combat hate, misinformation, disinformation and extremist rhetoric. It gave users a handful of opportunities to straighten up or face permanent removal. Dozens of these users simply ignored the rules and they faced the consequences.

Musk has taken the "freedom of speech" mantra too far. He now runs it and it has went downhill very fast.

He restored the former president's account. The former president has signalled he will eventually be back on Twitter.

On Wednesday, the Republican led committee on Twitter was a noise machine. 

Republicans badgered, belittled, bemoaned, degraded, praised them losing their jobs and threatened jail to Twitter’s former Head of Trust and Safety Yoel Roth, former chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, former Twitter deputy counsel James Baker and Anika Collier Navaroli, a former employee at Twitter. 

The Republicans were accusing the FBI and Twitter of suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop for a year, knowing it was leaking and that those leaks would hurt the Biden campaign.

It is also a moment in history.

Chrissy Teigen made the news. The model, activist and media personality who just welcomed her daughter with John Legend. Teigen had referred to Washed Up 45 as... wait for it.

Navaroli was a whistleblower who warned that domestic threats were up thanks to Washed Up 45 being on Twitter. Navaroli worked on Twitter’s content-moderation policy. 

chrissy…. tbh i had no idea what your tweet was when I asked the question, but I’ll always protect your free speech! 🫡

She told the House January 6 investigative committee that the social network let the former president bend rules and tweet disinformation for years because executives enjoyed how powerful it made them.

She said that she had to temporarily suspend Teigen after the White House asked Twitter to remove her tweet calling him..... wait for it.

When Washed Up 45 remarked about "go back to where you came from" in regards to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Teigen called him a "pussy ass bitch" in response.

It was a shitshow. I listened and watched the theatrics from Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) be the morons they are.

Headaches.
