(DCWatchdog.com) – In a letter to the Surgeon General of the United States of America, numerous congressional GOP leaders in the United States House of Representatives have leveled a series of charges at President Joe Biden and the Surgeon General.
Included in these charges are that Biden and the Surgeon General are exhibiting “behavior we would expect from an authoritarian dictator, not a sitting U.S. President and his Surgeon General.”
As Breitbart, who has obtained a copy of the letter, is reporting:
“A group of House Republican ranking members sent a letter exclusively obtained by Breitbart News to U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy over growing concern that the Biden administration is pressuring Big Tech to censor Americans online.
“‘We write with significant concerns that the Biden Administration continues to undermine the First Amendment by pressuring technology companies to censor specific users and certain speech,’ the group of Republicans wrote in the letter to Murthy. ‘The First Amendment prohibits the government from directly censoring speech it finds objectionable.'”
The Republicans allege the Biden administration is pressuring and working in concert with social media platforms to censor and ban conservative thought:
“‘The Biden Administration continues to attack our fundamental right to free speech as they collude with Big Tech to carry out their censorship campaign,’ McMorris Rodgers told Breitbart News as part of their reasoning for sending the letter. ‘This is the type of behavior we would expect from an authoritarian dictator, not a sitting U.S. President and his Surgeon General.'”
