Liberal journalists mocked Elon Musk's Twitter Files release showing censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story as a dud showing old information.
Velshi reacted to Musk’s response to a series of tweets posted by Taibbi that revealed members of both political parties were flagging tweets in emails to"If this isn’t a violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, what is?" Musk wrote in response to Taibbi’s tweet. "This is what we in the cable business like to call a hot take. It revealsprofound ignorance of the First Amendment. The First Amendment regulates government contact.
Steele, a former Republican National Committee chairman who shifted sharply to the left in the Trump era, joined MSNBC’s Symone Sanders on Saturday to react to the Twitter Files as well. Sanders asked what Steele made of the"tomfoolery" and said Musk was trying to draw attention to Hunter Biden’s actions again with the release of the files.
Steele said Musk’s decision to release the"Twitter Files" was about the billionaire's claim that he’s all about free speech, and actually served to undermine its"central tenets." "And so we are perpetuating lies and so forth. You’re really kind of laughing in the face of this idea of what the platform he claims is supposed to be. For the party, they love it. I mean they got one of the world’s richest men helping them foment the kind of distrust of the system and disinformation where their fingerprints don’t necessarily have to be on it," Steele said.
"What it sort of shows is a real struggle on an important platform for how to deal with something so outrageous, so explosive and what to actually do with it.
