GOP lawmakers call for probe into Big Tech’s CENSORSHIP of Trump assassination attempt

08/08/2024 / By Ava Grace

Two Republican lawmakers have called for a probe into Big Tech’s censorship of the July 13 failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas, a member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation under the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, announced a probe into the matter. In line with this, he wrote a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai on July 31 telling him to appear before lawmakers and testify about the search engine giant’s conduct.

He blasted Google for censoring conservatives and demonstrating “willful discrimination against Trump and users of [the] search engine,” noting that this type of behavior is all the greater given that Google is the largest search engine in the world. Marshall also described Google’s censorship of information about the assassination attempt – in particular the autocomplete functions’ refusal to acknowledge the incident – as proof that there is “no low” the company won’t stoop to.

“If the autocomplete function is truly reflective of the recent searches completed on Google, the self-learning algorithms should have easily adjusted their autocomplete function during a massive increase in search queries over the last two weeks,” the senator argued.

U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida also called for a similar probe, also pointing to “autocomplete irregularities” on Google. He issued this call in a July 31 letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

In his letter, the congressman told Mayorkas to provide any documents that might show another case of collusion between Big Tech and Big Government, this time around the failed assassination attempt. Gaetz gave a deadline of Aug. 16 for the Department of Homeland Security to accomplish these requirements.

Google denies claims of censorship

According to Reclaim The Net, Google has claimed there is no “manual action” recently done to affect search results. It added that the search engine has a policy of “protections against autocomplete predictions associated with political violence.” (Related: Facebook ADMITS to censoring Trump assassination attempt photo.)

Other users begged to differ, however. Some who searched for “failed assassination attempt” got other examples of political violence, such as those on former U.S. Presidents Gerard Ford and Ronald Reagan. They also received results for the June 1914 assassination of Austria’s Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Gavrilo Princip – an event that sparked World War I.

None of the results showed the July 13 incident where Thomas Matthew Crooks fired at Trump. While the 20-year-old Crooks only grazed Trump’s right ear, rally attendee Corey Comperatore died while shielding his family from gunfire. Secret Service counter-snipers neutralized Crooks moments after he pulled the trigger.

Marshall ultimately pointed out in his letter that Google has turned into a “propaganda wing of the Biden-Harris administration and the radical left.” According to him, this censorship is a form of election interference against Trump. The senator ultimately accused Big Tech in general of bias toward Democratic politicians – first with Hillary Clinton, then incumbent President Joe Biden and now Vice President Kamala Harris.
