Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, joined Tony Perkins on Washington Watch this week to discuss the legal action the RNC is taking against Google’s purported censorship of their account. She claimed that their emails would go from 90% deliverability to 0% in the last four days of every month for the past ten months.
“Fifty-three percent of the country has a Gmail account, and people who’ve opted in to receive Republican emails ask to receive them — they wanted to know, where is my polling location? How do I register to vote? How do I send money? Google has said, ‘You know what? We’re going to block that communication.’”
“[It] is usually the biggest time of the month when you’re telling people to vote or register or raise money. It’s intentional. It is big tech suppressing speech,” she explained.
She told Perkins how, before jumping into a lawsuit, the RNC engaged in cordial conversations with the tech giant for 10 months, but to no avail. “We kept hearing … it’s because of the amount of emails [we were] sending, or there’s something in [our] emails, it’s some algorithm. And they were very nice for 10 months, but it just kept happening the last four days every month,” McDaniel explained.
