“I’m pretty sure that Jimmy Kimmel was back on the air last night, and to the extent that he’s not back on the air, it’s because he’s not funny and has terrible ratings,” Vance fired back. “This is not a federal government problem.”
And then came the knockout punch.
Vance made it crystal clear: there’s a big difference between Trump firing back at critics and the Biden administration using government muscle to silence dissent.
“What government action has the Trump administration engaged in to kick Jimmy Kimmel or anybody else off the air? Zero,” Vance said. “What government pressure have we brought to bear to tell people that they’re not allowed to speak their mind? Zero.”
But the Biden team? Totally different story.
“Now compare that to the Biden administration where we found out just yesterday that conservatives on YouTube and on a number of social media platforms were being censored,” Vance explained. “Why? Because the Biden administration picked up the phone and said, ‘We want you to censor our political opponents.’”
Vance was talking about Google’s recent letter to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). It confirmed what many suspected: the Biden White House directly pressured tech companies to shut down voices they didn’t like.
Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley called the revelation a “vindication” for scientists and others silenced for challenging COVID policies.
“You had this coordination between the government, corporations, academia, even the media to censor people with opposing views,” Turley said on Fox News.
And it wasn’t just COVID.
Mark Zuckerberg admitted on Joe Rogan’s podcast that Biden officials would “call up our team and like scream at them and curse” to force content removal.
“That is real government censorship, and it left the White House when Joe Biden left the White House,” Vance concluded.
Meanwhile, the same media outlets now accusing Trump of “censorship” cheered on Biden’s strong-arming of Big Tech.
The facts speak for themselves:
- Biden’s team demanded social media platforms censor critics.
- They leaned on tech companies to bury inconvenient facts.
- They even tried to shut down scientists who questioned lockdowns.
Trump? Zero government action to silence anyone – even comedians who attack him nightly.
The media spent years denying any government-directed censorship existed. The Twitter Files proved it happened. The Facebook Files confirmed it. Now Google has admitted it.
The contrast couldn’t be clearer: Biden weaponized the federal government to suppress dissent. Trump has protected free speech – even from his loudest critics.
JD Vance just made sure the American people know the difference.
