Kamala Harris, Vice President and 2024 Democrat presidential nominee, has repeatedly called for censorship of political opponents, and she just reinforced her anti-free speech platform.
During a CNN radio townhall this week with Charlemagne Tha God, Harris, who has an anti-free speech track record, complained about the alleged “challenges” of “disinformation.” The presidential nominee defended her many policy failures, including economic issues, and labeled critiques of her work as disinformation. Leftists use the word to justify censorship.
Harris whined about those who challenged her policy positions. “One of the biggest challenges that I face is mis- and disinformation and it’s purposeful, because it is meant to convince people that they somehow should not believe that the work that I have done has — has occurred and has meaning,” she said.
But overwhelming evidence suggests that the Biden-Harris administration has used censorship to control media narratives and quash speech that is disadvantageous to the left. MRC research, the Twitter Files, evidence discovered in the Murthy v. Missouri lawsuit, and a recent letter from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg have all clearly shown that the federal government (including the White House) has colluded with foreign government entitiesand social media companies to ensure that dissenting views are censored online.
Harris is not only implicated by the efforts of the censorship industrial complex, however, she also openly pressured Big Tech to censor her Republican opponent Donald Trump no fewer than five times in 2019.
For example, on September 30, 2019, Harris asserted that Twitter (now X) should censor Trump while speaking on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360. “I, frankly, think that based on [Trump’s tweets] and all we’ve seen him do before, including attacking members of Congress, that he, frankly, his Twitter account should be suspended,” she said while running for the 2020 Democrat Party nomination.
Harris added, “I think there is plenty of, of now evidence to suggest that he is irresponsible with his words in a way that could result in harm to other people, and so the privilege of using those words in that way should probably be taken from him.”
More recently, during the 2024 CBS vice presidential debate, Harris’s running mate Tim Walz tried to justify online censorship.
