“The Woke Stasi Felt the Heat Today” – Elon Musk on Fired Twitter Execs at Congressional Roasting (video)

Many videos emerged on social media with the fired heads of Twitter being roasted by the Republicans

Newsroom February 9 07:06

The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday held a full committee hearing on government-big tech collusion and suppression of speech in regard to the Hunter Biden laptop report.

Republican members were prepared, brought in the evidence, and went hard on the former top officials of Twitter.

The current owner of Twitter Elon Musk, who provided droves of evidence via journalist Matt Taibbi which became known as the Twitter files, posted “The woke Stasi felt the Heat Today”, referring to the Committee session.

 

The Woke Stasi felt the heat today ?

Twitter’s top former censors were on the hot seat all day as they appeared before a Republican-led House Oversight Committee to answer questions about their outrageous and targeted censorship of conservatives. Republican lawmakers like badass Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-GA), Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), Rep. Paulina Luna (R-FL), and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) scored knockout blow after knockout blow as they exposed the former Twitter execs for colluding with the FBI and private-public groups in restricting free speech and silencing Americans in a clear violation to the US Constitution.

Many videos garnered millions of views on social media about the proceedings, showing the once mighty and “untouchable” ex-Twitter execs feeling extremely uncomfortable as they were bombarded with question after question about their role and purported collusion with the US Federal government to suppress dissenting voices from the Biden administration and the Democratic establishment.
