I read the tweets by @mtaibbi and @elonmusk on Hunter Biden so you don’t have to. Here is the BIG REVEAL: Twitter got complaints from lots of folks, including the Biden campaign, the Trump White House and your cousin’s friend. Sometimes Twitter listened and sometimes it didn’t. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@RumfoordNiles @elonmusk Sure. You can write whatever you want to me. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@amadeo_isabella @elonmusk He can ignore me and that’s my point. Twitter can choose to ignore or honor complaints from candidates, companies, moms, workers, teenagers, folks in France or whatever when it comes to speech. Twitter is a private sector company and the First Amendment does not apply to it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@OpenClusterTx @GOPLeader Incorrect. Pretty sure Sen Manchin and Sen Sanders are not in lockstep. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@rsballas @GOPLeader Twitter is a lot of things, but it’s not a ivory tower. It’s the opposite of an ivory tower where even your cousin’s friend can give an opinion about Hugo Chavez rising from the dead to purportedly steal an election. Also feel free to call me names because I’m cool like that. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@CensorshipLuvsU @GOPLeader False. I support the right of Twitter to whatever it wants when it comes to speech. I oppose MAGA Republicans who want to regulate Twitter. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@franksdcaudill @GOPLeader Twitter acted as a private sector company. It can do whatever it wants when it comes to speech. For example, it can choose to suppress ugly dog videos and promote cute kitten videos. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@Hoosier34 @GOPLeader Going well. Thank you for asking and for following me. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@CoolerWizdom @bahamas @GOPLeader Like in saying Twitter is accountable to its shareholders and not to any campaign or user or complainer? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@MarkAGarcia66 @GOPLeader Wait till you see my tweets Sunday about the Browns. I tweet on lots of things. But reminding people that Democrats are focused on economic issues while MAGA Republicans are focused on Hunter Biden’s laptop will absolutely be a recurring them in my Twitter feed. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@IsDrainBamaged @GOPLeader That’s incorrect. I’m quite tweeting GOP Leader’s own tweet obsessing over Hunter Biden’s laptop. And Dems are focused on cost of living issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@MichaelTanuvasa @GOPLeader Democrats in the House voted for paid sick leave. Most Republicans did not. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. That’s a fact. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@DucksSoCal2016 @GOPLeader False. The Department of Justice found the Russians interfered in the 2016 elections in a sweeping and systematic fashion. I will not sit down and will continue to stand for the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@sean39352878 @GOPLeader Thank you for following me. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@Bonerchampbig @GOPLeader No — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@RealItInPodcast @GOPLeader Not on this issue. All sorts of folks and campaigns complained to Twitter. Sometimes Twitter listened, sometimes it didn’t. Twitter can do whatever it wants when it comes to speech. It can promote, for example, only posts about cute kittens. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@bahamas @GOPLeader There was no coercion. Twitter could have ignored, and did ignore, various requests whether it came from a campaign or a regular citizen or a partisan hack. Also Trump was in charge, remember? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Democrats put #PeopleOverPolitics and are focused on cost of living issues. What is @GOPLeader focused on? What a private sector company decided to do about retweets of a newspaper’s story about Hunter Biden’s laptop. This is why Dems will win back the majority in 2024. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@Sashasama @elonmusk Political parties and candidates, like all Americans, can request whatever they want a private sector company to do when it comes to speech. It’s up to the private sector company to ignore or honor those requests. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@bahamas @elonmusk I just ordered Elon Musk to stop posting stupid shit. Does he have to listen? No. Because the First Amendment prevents government officials from suppressing speech. Get it? Oh, and Biden’s campaign team was not the government. Trump was in charge. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @elonmusk: I’m in the government and I order you to stop posting stupid shit. See why your post is wrong? Twitter can do whatever it wants as a private sector company when it comes to speech. And the Biden campaign team wasn’t the government. Trump was President in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@dontfalforit @GOP Wrong. Both Republicans and Democrats complained to Twitter. Sometimes Twitter listened, sometimes it didn’t. Twitter is a private sector company and can do whatever it wants with regard to speech. Twitter could right now say it’s only going to promote cute puppy tweets. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@shrikex0r @GOP False. I voted for paid sick leave. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@MT_GlacierGirl @GOP Top secret documents that Trump illegally took to his private club? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@bahamas @GOP I can instruct Twitter to promote stories about cute puppies. As can you. Private sector companies listen to folks and then do whatever they want. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@MarkAGarcia66 @GOP False. Lots of people complained to Twitter, including Republicans and Democrats. Sometimes Twitter listened, sometimes they didn’t. And the NY Post already did a whole story about Hunter Biden’s laptop and could keep on doing stories about it. As could any other media company. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@MikeOxb79532341 @GOP The tweet will definitely age well. Democrats will take back the House because we are helping American families, whereas Republicans are focused on what Twitter did or didn’t do about a NY Post story about some laptop. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@JimMannino @GOP Yes we did. Not only did we hold the Senate in a midterm, but we may even expand it. We brought back 30 of our 34 frontline incumbents in a midterm, far exceeding anyone’s expectations. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@H1tM4n_37 @GOP Both Republicans and Democrats complained to Twitter. Sometimes Twitter listened, sometimes Twitter didn’t. Those are the facts. — PolitiTweet.org
