<div>
<p>Far-right figure and former Breitbart News editor <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/life/2019/05/new-facebook-ban-louis-farrakhan-alex-jones-milo-yiannopoulos" rel="noopener">Milo Yiannopoulos</a>, at least according to a new report, used a credit card connected with <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/marjorie-taylor-greene" rel="noopener">Marjorie Taylor Greene</a>’s campaign to buy an internet domain for the artist formerly known as <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/kanye-west" rel="noopener">Kanye West</a>’s latest presidential election effort. Yiannopoulos was then reportedly reimbursed for thousands of dollars above the actual cost, spurring a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/milo-yiannopoulos-caught-in-marjorie-taylor-greene-kanye-west-campaign-cash-scandal" rel="noopener">number of potential legal concerns</a> highlighted in a detailed <em>Daily Beast</em> report and beyond.</p>
<p>The circumstances surrounding all of this constitute one hell of a convoluted mess, which is decidedly on-brand for all allegedly involved. Yiannopoulos has called the larger story surrounding the transaction “false,” pointing to a “junior staffer” as being responsible for what he claimed was a payment error that has since been fixed.</p>
<p>At any rate, per Roger Sollenberger’s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/milo-yiannopoulos-caught-in-marjorie-taylor-greene-kanye-west-campaign-cash-scandal" rel="noopener">report</a>, the Greene campaign is said to have reported an expense of just over $7,000 last November to GoDaddy on the same day that Ye’s 2020 committee is said to have reported paying Yiannopoulos just under $10,000. The reason listed for the latter payment, notably, was a “domain transfer.” It wasn’t immediately clear whether the larger Greene campaign had knowledge of the card being used for the purchase, which is said to have been for a currently parked Ye24 domain.</p>
<section class="suitcase-ad" />
<p>As for concerns spurred by this transaction, here’s a sampling of possible alleged violations <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/milo-yiannopoulos-caught-in-marjorie-taylor-greene-kanye-west-campaign-cash-scandal" rel="noopener">cited</a> in the report: false campaign filings, converting campaign-related money into money used for “personal benefit,” and theft.</p>
<p>On Monday, Politico <a target="_blank" href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/08/kanye-west-treasurer-resigns-00095887" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Ye’s treasurer, Patrick Krason, had resigned. In a letter to the FEC, <a target="_blank" href="https://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/180/202305089581417180/202305089581417180.pdf" rel="noopener">linked here</a>, Krason said he had notified Ye’s campaign of his resignation and had also made them “aware of the requirement to name a new treasurer within 10 days.” Ye, whose career imploded last year amid a string of widely called-out anti-Semitic comments leading up to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/music/kanye-west-likes-hitler-alex-jones" rel="noopener">literal Hitler praise</a>, has still not formally announced a 2024 campaign.</p>
<p>Though Krason did not mention Yiannopoulos in the FEC letter, he did name him in another letter sent directly to Ye, alleging—as highlighted by Jessica Piper <a target="_blank" href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/08/kanye-west-treasurer-resigns-00095887" rel="noopener">here</a>—that Yiannopoulos had “submitted falsified invoices.”</p>
<p>No aspect of the Ye campaign (or the general dealings of Yiannopoulos, Greene, etc.) is worth anyone’s time, of course, and is by its very nature designed to draw attention to itself, most obviously by hoping to rile up those from other political spectrums whose publicly expressed anger in turn generates even more attention and revenue for those they’re speaking out against. It’s a vicious cycle, and a particularly exhausting one at that, yet it appears no one is capable of retaining the lessons one would think we all learned by way of some very recent history.</p>
<section class="suitcase-ad" />
<p>Instead, publications continue to chase clicks and viewership no matter the cost, ensuring this distinctly American circus will continue for the foreseeable future.</p>

<p>Fresh off being <a href="https://www.complex.com/life/a/tracewilliamcowen/tucker-carlson-exits-fox-news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unceremoniously ousted by Fox News</a>, Tucker Carlson is boasting about a resurgence.</p>
<p>The right-wing pundit and amplifier of white nationalism said in a video <a href="https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1656037032538390530" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> on Tuesday, “Amazingly, as of tonight, there aren’t many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is Twitter, where we are now.”</p>
<p>The 53-year-old heralded Twitter as being “not a partisan site” but rather “the place where our national conversation incubates and develops,” where “everybody’s allowed.” From there, Carlson babbled about free speech and warned he’ll create a “new version of the show we’ve been doing.” He also slid in a mini-screed about how “the rule of what you can’t say defines everything. It’s filthy really and it’s utterly corrupting.” </p>
<p>Of Carlson’s firing, the<em> New York Times</em><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/02/business/media/tucker-carlson-text-message-white-men.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that a text message he sent “set off a panic at the highest levels of Fox on the eve of its billion-dollar defamation trial” <a href="https://www.complex.com/life/fox-news-billion-dollar-lawsuit-dominion-voting-election-fraud-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener">against Dominion Voting Systems</a>. His words (below) showed the network’s “most popular host sharing his private, inflammatory views about violence and race.”</p>

<p>A veteran GOP attorney has devised a plan to give her party an edge in the 2024 election: make the voting process much more difficult.</p>
<p>Longtime legal strategist Cleta Mitchell outlined the scheme Saturday during the Republican National Committee donor retreat in Nashville, where she presented a 50-slide PowerPoint titled, “A Level Playing Field for 2024.” The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/04/20/cleta-mitchell-voting-college-students/" rel="noopener"><em>Washington Post</em></a> obtained audio from the event as well as a copy of Mitchell’s presentation, which included voter suppression strategies aimed at young people and others who have historically leaned Democrat.</p>
<p>According to the <em>Post</em>, the presentation called on conservatives to limit voting access on U.S. college campuses, where there tends to be much more opposition to the GOP. Though it’s unclear if Mitchell presented the plan “exactly as it was prepared on her PowerPoint,” the <em>Post</em> confirmed she touched on students’ access to the ballot box and questioned why it had become so easy.</p>
<p>“What are these college campus locations?” she reportedly asked. “What is this young people effort that they do? They basically put the polling place next to the student dorm so they just have to roll out of bed, vote, and go back to bed.”</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://circle.tufts.edu/2022-election-center" rel="noopener">According to researchers at Tufts University</a>, the 2022 election had the second-highest youth turnout in the past 30 years. The school’s Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement estimated 27 percent of U.S. young voters (ages 18-29) cast a ballot during the midterms. Michigan had the highest youth turnout in the country (37%), while states like Minnesota, Maine, Oregon, and Colorado had more than 30 percent. Tufts’ report cited an Edison Research National Election Pool exit poll that found young voters preferred Democrats to Republicans by 62 percent to 36 percent, marking the only age group in which a strong majority backed Dems.</p>
<section class="suitcase-ad" />
<p>The Republican attorney also spoke out against same-day voter registration and the vote-by-mail option, two provisions that have been more advantageous for Democratic candidates. As pointed out by the <em>Post</em>, GOP members have warned that voting-by-mail and looser voter ID laws will result in more election fraud; however, experts say there is no evidence to support such claims.</p>
<p>“The Left has manipulated the electoral systems to favor one side … theirs,” Mitchell reportedly wrote in the presentation. “Our constitutional republic’s survival is at stake.”</p>
<p>The Republican Party has not officially endorsed Mitchell’s plan, but RNC spokesman Keith Schipper said the governing body appreciates the attorney’s contributions.</p>
<section class="suitcase-ad" />
<p>“As the RNC continues to strengthen our Election Integrity program, we are thankful for leaders like Cleta Mitchell who do important work for the Republican ecosystem,” Schipper said. “Our guests in Nashville were grateful for her to travel to the event and share her efforts.”</p>
<p>Mitchell did not respond to the <em>Post</em>’s request for comment.</p>

<p><a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/oklahoma" rel="noopener">Oklahoma Governor</a> Kevin Stitt has called for <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/politicians" rel="noopener">the resignations</a> of multiple McCurtain County officials after the surfacing of audio alleging to include violent and racist comments, <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/police" rel="noopener">including from a local sheriff</a>.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://apnews.com/article/mccurtain-oklahoma-racist-killing-journalists-recording-8e445b2359b67622d5f6c1f75554c750" rel="noopener">Per a report from</a> the Associated Press on Tuesday, Stitt said over the weekend that he was calling for McCurtain County Sheriff Kevin Clardy, Sheriff’s Captain Alicia Manning, District 2 Commissioner Mark Jennings, and Jail Administrator Larry Hendrix to step down from their respective positions.</p>
<p>“I am both appalled and disheartened to hear of the horrid comments made by officials in McCurtain County,” Stitt said. “There is simply no place for such hateful rhetoric in the state of Oklahoma, especially by those that serve to represent the community through their respective office.”</p>
<p>Complex has reached out to Stitt’s office for comment. This story may be updated.</p>
<p>The audio in question <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/Erin_Christy/status/1647324535610376194" rel="noopener">was first shared by</a> regional outlet the <em>McCurtain Gazette-News</em>. In it, the officials in question are alleged to be heard making a number of troubling remarks during a March 2023 commission meeting.</p>
<p>The audio, <a target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AAIMIJzXUqGecRP0M_foHOPpMoRFzvBOseE3r7MoaPs/edit" rel="noopener">detailed here</a>, is reported to include remarks from the sheriff about knowing “an excavator.” Additionally, Jennings is alleged to have said they know multiple “hit men;” he’s also alleged to have complained about not being able to “hang [Black people] up with a damn rope.”</p>

<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.complex.com/tag/florida/" rel="noopener">Florida</a> governor <a target="_blank" href="http://www.complex.com/tag/ron-desantis/" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> has signed a bill on that bans abortions after six weeks and requires victims of incest and rape to provide proof for exception from the ban.</p>
<p>The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.complex.com/tag/republicans/" rel="noopener">Republican governor</a> signed the Heartbeat Protection Act into law on Thursday, as announced in a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.flgov.com/2023/04/13/governor-ron-desantis-signs-heartbeat-protection-act/" rel="noopener">press release</a>. The six-week abortion ban won’t go into effect until Florida’s Supreme Court overturns its previous laws on abortion, but it will make the state one of the most restrictive in regard to abortion access. Victims of rape, human trafficking, and incest can only terminate their pregnancy if they provide proof their pregnancy was the result of one of the three. Accepted documentation includes restraining orders, police reports, or medical evidence.</p>
<p>The Heartbeat Protection Act arrives a year after Florida introduced a bill banning abortions after 15 weeks following the overturning of Roe v. Wade last year. “We are proud to support life and family in the state of Florida,” said Governor Ron DeSantis, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/life/a/backwoodsaltar/ron-desantis-signs-dont-say-gay-bill-into-law" rel="noopener">who signed Florida’s controversial anti-LGBTQ+ ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill into law in March 2022</a>. “I applaud the Legislature for passing the Heartbeat Protection Act that expands pro-life protections and provides additional resources for young mothers and families.” The press release also criticized New York and California, in particular, for providing residents with safe access to abortion services.</p>
<section class="suitcase-ad" />
<p>In a statement issued late on Thursday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre condemned the legislation. “This ban would prevent four million Florida women of reproductive age from accessing abortion care after six weeks — before many women even know they’re pregnant,” said Jean-Pierre. “This ban would also impact the nearly 15 million women of reproductive age who live in abortion-banning states throughout the South, many of whom have previously relied on travel to Florida as an option to access care.”</p>
<p>A <a target="_blank" href="https://www.unf.edu/uploadedFiles/aa/coas/porl/UNF%20PORL%20Press%20Release%202-22-22.pdf" rel="noopener">University of North Florida-conducted poll</a> in February found that three-quarters of Florida’s population is opposed to the six-week ban. </p>

<p>West Virginia Republicans have blocked a bill that would have prohibited child marriages.</p>
<p>The state’s Senate Judiciary Committee narrowly rejected House Bill 3018 on a 9-8 vote Wednesday, exactly a week after it was passed by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/life/west-virginia-passes-bill-prohibits-child-marriage" rel="noopener">the West Virginia House of Delegates</a>. Under WV’s current law, children as young as 16 can legally get married with parental consent. Those under 16 can secure a marriage license by obtaining a judge’s wavier.</p>
<p>The proposed bill would’ve established 18 as the age of marital consent in West Virginia, which has an alarmingly high rate of child marriages. According to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/01/child-marriage-is-rare-in-the-u-s-though-this-varies-by-state/" rel="noopener">Pew Research Center</a>, about seven of every 1,000 children between 15 and 17 were married in 2014. Most of those marriages involved an adult.</p>
<p>Wednesday’s decision prevented the measure from advancing to the full Senate. Kanawha County Sen. Mike Stuart was among the Republicans who opposed the bill. According to the <a target="_blank" href="https://apnews.com/article/child-marriage-west-virginia-bill-defeated-4d822a23b5ffd70f5370a36cc914cfb0" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a>, he said his mother was just 16 when she got married, and gave birth to him six months later.</p>
<p>“I’m the luckiest guy in the world,” he said.</p>
<p>House Bill 3018’s main sponsor, Democratic Del. Kayla Young, slammed the committee’s decision via Twitter on Wednesday.</p>
<p>“Don’t worry, West Virginia…you can still marry off your toddlers and rape your own spouse without consequence,” she tweeted. “Thanks to the majority of members in Senate Judiciary. Bless the reasonable ones who want to protect children and spouses from abuse. We see you.”</p>

<p>After Walgreens announced on Friday that it will not distribute <a href="https://www.complex.com/life/a/joshua-espinoza/12-states-sue-fda-over-restricted-abortion-pill-access" target="_self" rel="noopener">abortion medication</a> at its locations in 20 states, <a href="http://www.complex.com/tag/california/" target="_self" rel="noopener">California</a> governor Gavin Newsom says the state won’t do business with the company.</p>
<p>“California won’t be doing business with Walgreens—or any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women&#8217;s lives at risk,&#8221; Newsom tweeted on Monday. &#8220;We&#8217;re done.&#8221;</p>
<p>It’s not immediately clear how this will impact Walgreens, or if any other Democratic-run states plan to follow in Newsom’s footsteps.</p>
<p>As <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/03/business/abortion-pills-mifepristone-walgreens-pharmacies/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> reported on Friday, Walgreens announced that it would not dispense mifepristone, one of the two drugs used in medicated abortion, in Republican-led 20 states. “We intend to be a certified pharmacy and will distribute Mifepristone only in those jurisdictions where it is legal and operationally feasible,” the company said in a statement. Republican attorneys in the 20 states, including ones where mifepristone is still legal, have warned pharmacies against distributing the pill.</p>
<p>At least 19 states across the country have placed restrictions on the pill, and there are currently several legal battles over whether the power to outlaw them is legitimate when considering the FDA’s policy. Restrictions on the dispensing of the drug were eased at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, as it was originally only dispensed via in-person treatments. </p>
<section class="suitcase-ad" />
<p>Last month, <a href="https://www.complex.com/life/a/joshua-espinoza/12-states-sue-fda-over-restricted-abortion-pill-access" target="_self" rel="noopener">12 Democrat-led states filed a lawsuit</a> against the Food and Drug Administration over the restricted distribution of mifepristone. The suit represents the states of Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont.</p>

<p>A Republican Tennessee legislator faced backlash this week after he proposed to revive lynching-style hangings.</p>
<p>Rep. Paul Sherrell (R-Sparta) made the proposal Tuesday during a Criminal Justice Committee meeting that addressed HB 1245—a bill that would allow death row inmates to be killed by firing squad. While expressing his support for the bill, Sherrell suggested an amended version that would include another execution option.</p>
<p>“I think it’s a very good idea, and I was just wondering if I could put an amendment on that would include hanging by a tree also?” he said, as reported by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/crime/2023/03/02/tennessee-lawmaker-asks-for-hanging-by-tree-as-execution-apologizes/69960459007/" rel="noopener"><em>The Tennessean</em></a>.</p>
<p>Sherrell’s proposal received immediate pushback, with many critics pointing to the horrific history of hangings and lynchings in Tennessee.</p>
<p>“He is celebrating a particular form of execution used against African Americans in Tennessee and across the nation, including innocent and wrongfully convicted persons,” Gloria Sweet-Love, president of the Tennessee State Conference of the NAACP, told <a target="_blank" href="https://www.newschannel5.com/news/a-state-lawmaker-suggested-hanging-by-a-tree-to-execute-death-row-inmates-now-hes-apologizing" rel="noopener">News Channel 5</a>. “In many parts of the South, lynchings took place in nearly every county as it exemplified racialized and anti-Black violence. We know from numerous research studies that Blacks are also disproportionately executed, especially when the alleged victim is white.”</p>
<p>She continued, “It is a sad day in Tennessee politics when a lawmaker publicly announces that he wants to resurrect the lynching tree. We demand an apology from Representative Sherrill and ask the House leadership to condemn statements advocating racialized violence.”</p>
<section class="suitcase-ad" />
<p>Sherrell has since apologized in a statement released through the House Republican caucus press secretary.</p>
<p>“I regret that I used very poor judgment in voicing my support of a colleague’s bill in the Criminal Justice Committee on Tuesday,” he said. “My exaggerated comments were intended to convey my belief that for the cruelest and most heinous crimes, a just society requires the death penalty in kind. Although a victim’s family cannot be restored when an execution is carried out, a lesser punishment undermines the value we place on protecting life. My intention was to express my support of families who often wait decades for justice. I sincerely apologize to anyone who may have been hurt or offended.”</p>
<p>According to the state’s Department of Correction, hanging was the primary method of execution until 1913. Lethal injections are now the preferred option; however, lawmakers are trying to implement other methods due to reported failures of TDOC’s lethal injection protocols.</p>
<p>There are now 46 death row inmates in Tennessee, 45 of whom are men. </p>

<p>A Georgia grand jury determined one or more witnesses may have lied under oath during an election-meddling probe involving <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/tag/donald-trump" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>.</p>
<p>The revelation came Thursday, after Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney released portions of the much-anticipated jury report. The documents were published after a two-year investigation into <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/life/2021/01/trump-georgia-election-investigatior-find-the-fraud" rel="noopener">Trump’s conduct following the 2020 presidential election</a>, and his alleged efforts to overturn the results.</p>
<p>The former president and his team spent months propagating baseless voter fraud claims after he was defeated by President Joe Biden. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/16/trump-grand-jury-recommends-perjury-indictments-finds-no-fraud-in-georgia-2020-election.html" rel="noopener">As pointed out by CNBC</a>, the jury found no significant evidence of fraud in the 2020 contest, contrary to Trump’s allegations. Jurors determined, however, that multiple witnesses may have perjured themselves while on the stand. As a result, the jury urged prosecutors to pursue criminal indictments against those unnamed individuals. </p>
<p>“A majority of the Grand Jury believes that perjury may have been committed by one or more witnesses testifying before it,” <a target="_blank" href="https://fultonclerk.org/DocumentCenter/View/1706/EX-PARTE-ORDER-OF-THE-JUDGE-2-16-2023-Report" rel="noopener">the report read in part</a>. “The Grand Jury recommends that the District Attorney seek appropriate indictments for such crimes where the evidence is compelling.”</p>
<p>The probe reportedly included evidence and statements from more than 75 witnesses, including investigators, Georgia poll workers, state officials, and people who said they’re still convinced that election fraud took place. Trump’s campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung addressed the report on Thursday, saying the perjury allegations had “nothing to do” with the ex-president.</p>
<section class="suitcase-ad" />
<p>“The long awaited important sections of the Georgia report, which do not even mention President Trump’s name &#8230; because President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong,” <a target="_blank" href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/parts-trump-georgia-grand-jury-report-released-suggesting-possible-witness-perjury" rel="noopener">Cheung told Fox News</a>. “The President participated in two perfect phone calls regarding election integrity in Georgia, which he is entitled to do — in fact, as President, it was President Trump’s Constitutional duty to ensure election safety, security, and integrity. Between the two calls, there were many officials and attorneys on the line, including the Secretary of State of Georgia, and no one objected, even slightly protested, or hung up. President Trump will always keep fighting for true and honest elections in America!”</p>

<div>
<p>Trump’s single-term administration allegedly asked Twitter to censor outspoken critic <a target="_blank" href="https://complex.com/tag/chrissy-teigen" rel="noopener">Chrissy Teigen</a>.</p>
<p>According to <a target="_blank" href="https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/02/trump-wh-asked-twitter-to-take-down-chrissy-teigen-burn.html" rel="noopener"><em>New York </em>magazine</a>, the revelation came during a Wednesday congressional hearing about Twitter’s handling of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/all-the-news-thats-finally-fit-to-print-hunter-biden-laptop-new-york-post-new-york-times-joe-biden-11647637814" rel="noopener">the Hunter Biden laptop story</a>. During her testimony, former Twitter employee Anika Collier Navaroli was pressed about an online dispute between then-President Donald Trump and Teigen. Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) pointed to a 2019 post in which Trump criticized Teigen and husband <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/john-legend" rel="noopener">John Legend</a> for failing to give him enough credit for a criminal reform bill he had signed into law. He referred to Legend as a “boring musician” and Teigen as “his filthy mouthed wife.”</p>
<p>At the time, Teigen returned to Twitter shortly after and referred to the ex-POTUS as a “pussy ass bitch.”</p>
<p>“The White House almost immediately thereafter contacted Twitter to demand the tweet be taken down. Is that accurate?” Connolly asked Navaroli, who worked as a senior expert on Twitter’s U.S. safety-policy team.</p>
<p>“I do remember hearing we’d received a request from the White House to make sure we evaluated this tweet, and they wanted it to come down because it was a derogatory statement directed at the president,” Navaroli said. </p>
<p>The platform ultimately declined to remove the tweet.</p>
<section class="suitcase-ad" />
<p>“I thought that was an inappropriate action by a government official, let alone the White House,” Connolly continued. “But it wasn’t Joe Biden, about his son’s laptop. It was Donald Trump, because he didn’t like what Chrissy Teigen had to say about him.”</p>
<p>Many Democrats say the testimony underscored Republican hypocrisy when it comes to the issue of online censorship. GOP lawmakers have consistently accused Twitter of having a political bias, and say the company may have affected the 2020 election by suppressing a <em>New York Post</em> article about Hunter’s laptop. The president’s second son reportedly abandoned the computer at a Delaware repair shop in 2019; about a year later, the <em>Post</em> reported on the contents of the device, which allegedly included explicit photos and videos, as well as unsavory business dealings.</p>
<p>Twitter subsequently suspended the <em>Post</em>’s verified account and blocked users from sharing the damning report, which many dismissed as “Russian disinformation.” Hunter has since admitted the laptop belonged to him; however, Twitter maintains the U.S. government did not influence the platform’s decision to censor the story.</p>
<p>Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey addressed the censorship during a 2020 Senate Judiciary Committee, saying it was a “mistake” to suppress the <em>Post</em> report.</p>
<section class="suitcase-ad" />
<p>“We recognize it as a mistake that we made, both in terms of the intention of the policy and also the enforcement action of not allowing people to share it publicly or privately,” Dorsey said.</p>
