Customers line up in front of a Silicon Valley Bank branch on Friday.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) was on a Zoom meeting this afternoon with members of Congress, the Fed, the Treasury, and FDIC. The call was organized after Silicon Valley Bank crashed and was taken over by the State of California on Friday.
Silicon Valley Bank was the largest US bank to crash since the 2008 banking crisis.
During the call on Sunday afternoon Massie reported that one Democrat Senator asked if there was a program in place to censor free speech at this time on social media.
The first thought of the Democrat Party is to strip Americans of their right to free speech and the free flow of information.
These people are not your friend.
Just got off of a zoom meeting with Fed, Treasury, FDIC, House, and Senate.
A Democrat Senator essentially asked whether there was a program in place to censor information on social media that could lead to a run on the banks.

The government said they will get back to the Senator.
“We will get back to you on that.”

Lauren Boebert also commented on the Democrat Party’s rush to crack down on free speech.
On a briefing with Biden Under Secretary of the Treasury Nellie Liang regarding the SVB BAILOUT they are working towards and a member asked if the they were reaching out to Facebook and Twitter to monitor misinformation and “bad actors.”
And this administration AGAIN just… https://t.co/rJbG5gR36G

And, for the record, Democrats are also urging the government to bail out their friends at SVB.
Most elected Democrats are openly advocating for crony capitalism right now. They want government to bail out millionaire depositors above the $250,000 FDIC limit.
