Former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard slammed Crooked Hillary Clinton and the GOP’s Sen. Mitt Romney in the first House weaponization subcommittee hearing Thursday after they spread a “baseless smear” that accused Gabbard of “treason” and of being “groomed” by the Russians for the 2020 Democratic primary elections.

Gabbard, a former Hawaii congresswoman and former presidential candidate, said “The threat Big Tech monopolies pose to our democracy is real and serious…” having “had personal experience with this.”

Government isn't the arbiter of what can or cannot be said, who can speak, or who can worship!

“After the first Democratic primary presidential debate in 2019, I was the most searched candidate of the night. Unfortunately and suddenly, my Google ads account was mysteriously suspended without any notice or explanation,” she continued, saying that there was “no responses to our multiple attempts to resolve whatever problem could have caused this.”

“This happens all the time with these Big Tech monopolies interfering in our democracy by manipulating search results based on whatever it is they want the American people to know about a particular candidate or issue,” Gabbard said. “That should be concerning to any one of us.”

Gabbard cited the Twitter files and highlighted that former FBI, CIA and other government officials were behind suspensions on accounts due to “Russian influence activities online,” referring to “Hamilton 68” as a “dashboard” that is meant to monitor Russian bot activity.

“Hamilton 68 work was widely cited as fact by institutions like Harvard and Stanford, mainstream news organizations across the board, members of the House of Representatives and Senate from both political parties, including the head of the Intelligence Committee,” Gabbard said.

“The problem is — it was false,” Gabbard said, adding “Twitter determined that the vast majority of accounts Hamilton 68 targeted… were ‘neither strongly Russian nor strongly bots.'”

“They were mostly anti-establishment American voices from across the political spectrum,” Gabbard said, according to Fox News.. “I was one of them.”
