House Dem: The 'nothingburger' argument on Twitter Files is "compounding the problem"

[Ro Khanna] On the importance of the Twitter Files:

Here’s why I think the “nothingburger” argument is compounding the problem. Let’s stipulate that 60% of the country may not care about the Twitter Files. But if 40% of the country thinks they don’t have a fair shake on a modern platform, don’t you think you should listen?

It’s like you’re doubly censoring. You’re censoring in the first place. And then you’re censoring the emotion of being upset about being censored. I think until we start to have a conversation where we’re understanding where each other are coming from there’s no hope for stitching the country together.

Someone who wasn’t following the Twitter Files story said to me, “Well, I think Biden is favored to beat Trump in 2024 because of the midterms. But now I need to factor in that, with Elon at Twitter, Twitter is going to become more Republican, so that may be a point for Donald Trump.” It really has become a ball that’s going to bounce from one side to the other side. That’s the exact wrong vision of democracy.
