I think you're the most dishonest witness that has ever appeared before the Judiciary Committee.

your agency is involved in the greatest coverup of free speech in U.S. history.

Isn't it correct, as we heard--I've been to the border three times. The folks down there suggest that the cartels are extracting between $3-$5 thousand, maybe more, per person that presents illegally at the border.

the court found otherwise. It is really curious to me--actually it is quite alarming that you haven't read the opinion because your agency is listed in this opinion.

Don't you think that, politically at least, a secure border is an essential prerequisite to any comprehensive solution?

That speaks for the American people.

What I'm concerned about is this Committee and dystopian Disinformation Governance Board and put Nina Jankowicz in charge of for about three weeks, until the public blew their tops over that, and you--that suddenly disappeared and she…

I am suggesting to you that you are saying things to us under oath that are proven by the record to be untrue.

Did you or anyone working for you work with the social media companies prior to the 2022 election to pull things off the internet, suppress things off the internet, that your folks determined to be false or misinformation?

I have to be honest and tell you I am not sure exactly what you do at the Department of Homeland Security other than great harm.

So, you had no idea what the Misinformation and Disinformation Committee was doing during that period?

This is such a frustrating exercise for us because our constituents want answers.

If I go back home to all my constituents, as I'm going to be doing this Friday--and I'm going to be talking to them on Monday at a Chamber of Commerce meeting--guess what? They're outraged about the things I mentioned earlier.

This is not conspiracy theories; this is evidence.

The hard evidence...now proves that the Biden family is hopelessly corrupt and has apparently engaged in a long pattern of extortion, bribery, influence-peddling, and tax fraud and staggering abuses of power.

It's really ironic this hearing is covering the left's censorship of opposing viewpoints, and you've all seen it on display all day long.

A Federal Court has just affirmed all that hard evidence. It proves that the White House, the Department of Justice, and the FBI...threatened and coerced the social media platforms to censor and suppress disfavored viewpoints.

Mr. Johnson of Louisiana. Is it the custom of this Committee to censor viewpoints that we disagree with from witnesses?

They've also been corrupted. They've been weaponized to help cover all this up, the First Family's crimes.

They either don't know the law or, I don't know, they're trying to obscure the facts. That's a theme around here.

Isn't it true, in your litigation, Missouri v. Biden, that Elvis Chan, who was one of the FBI agents in charge of the FBI online censorship program, testified under oath in the litigation, and the court noted it in the opinion, that he had…

It had profound impacts, we know. We just saw the poll and the data that's been entered here.

I feel privileged to serve as Ranking Member of a Subcommittee that supports creators and keeps our American innovation system strong.

An Opinion from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Administrative stay from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Missouri v. Biden, Jul. 17, 2023, submitted by the Honorable Mike Johnson, a Member of the Select…

I continue to believe that we will be able to work across the aisle with our colleagues because so many of us agree on this issue, and I extend my hand to them and look forward to working with Ranking Member Jackson Lee and other Members…
