CNN contributor Kara Swisher raised eyebrows as she significantly downplayed Big Tech's censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 election and called claims of collusion between tech companies and the federal government "absolute nonsense."

On Wednesday night, a CNN panel discussion put a spotlight on comments made by Republican vice-presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, who suggested that President Biden's victory was illegitimate by pointing to how social media giants "verifiably" "censored Americans from talking about things like the Hunter Biden laptop story," saying that had a "major, major consequence" on the results of the previous election. 

"There is no proof that tech companies colluded to do this," Swisher reacted. "This is nonsense and he knows it."
