Boebert blasts Facebook over continued Trump suspension, calls for antitrust action
Fox News
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., called Wednesday for Facebook to be broken up after the social media giant’s oversight committee affirmed a decision to suspend former President Donald Trump’s account following the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
"It was wrong to give corporate welfare to begin with, and it is still wrong now. It is time for woke leftist corporations to lose their privileged status and be broken up," she added. REPUBLICANS THREATEN TO BREAK UP FACEBOOK OVER OVERSIGHT BOARD DECISION Boebert joined other GOP lawmakers, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California and Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, who called for an antitrust crackdown on Facebook and other tech giants in response to the decision. Prominent Republicans have long accused Facebook and Twitter of attempting to silence conservative viewpoints – a charge the companies have denied.More Related News
