The House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government held a hearing Thursday on Capitol Hill.
As TGP’s Jim Hoft reported, the hearing focused on the weaponization of the government as identified in the Twitter Files releases.
Here were the witnesses:
Matt Taibbi, Journalist
Michael Shellenberger, Author, Co-founder of the Breakthrough Institute and the California Peace Coalition
Talibbi and Shellenberger testified regarding how the corrupt FBI colluded with Twitter to censor conservatives and the truth.
Democrats on the panel throughout the day tried to intimidate the witnesses and force them to reveal their sources as reported by TGP’s Joe Hoft.
Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-TX) was one of the Democrats. But during the hearing, she completely faceplanted while questioning Taibbi.
At one point during her inquisition, she showed she has no clue what Substack is. This is the website where Taibbi publishes his groundbreaking research and reports.
You posted on your umm I guess it’s kind of like a web page. I don’t quite understand what Substack is.

Substack is an online platform that provides “independent writers and podcasters to publish directly to their audience and get paid through subscriptions.”
She literally does not know how the Internet works.
Elon Musk responded with a simple yet pithy message.

Twitter users mocked and slammed Garcia.
DEMOCRATS: Substack, is that like a short stack, because I love the pancakes from the House cafeteria.

They’ll find out about Substack in 2025 and then try to ban it

These people are so out of touch. And they call themselves “representatives.” Who are they representing? Not the American People.

This is why we need more younger people in office. We need people that understand tech, AI, social networks, data, crypto, etc.

Ah, yes. Politicians opining on subjects that they have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. How revealing, and yet, totally to be expected in our current circumstances.

An example of:
How to say you aren’t qualified to be a politician without saying you aren’t qualified to be a politician.

Remember thousands of Americans voted for her. What does this say about their judgment?
