Former President Donald Trump vowed to fire every federal employee who has engaged in censorship under the Biden-Harris Administration while addressing supporters in Wisconsin on Saturday.
Since President Biden took office in 2021, evidence of censorship directed by the White House has been uncovered through a number of leaks and investigations. Censorship of social media sites has been ongoing before the Trump Administration, as evidenced by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s recent letter to congress in which he revealed that FBI employees “warned” the platform that the infamous Hunter Biden laptop story was “Russian disinformation.”
The bombshell story was scrubbed from Twitter and Facebook as a result of the “warning,” something Zuckerberg has referred to as a “mistake.”

Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter further revealed that the company was in communication with White House staffers in order to censor content relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccinations and “misinformation” relating to the 2020 election results. The company also employed a former FBI employee in order to assist with content moderation.
Evidence of federal government censorship has also been uncovered as part of Missouri’s sweeping lawsuit against the Biden Administration.
While speaking to supporters in Wisconsin on Monday, former President Donald Trump addressed the mainstream media and their role in enabling and encouraging government censorship of conservatives and other dissidents.

“I will bring back free speech in America, because it’s been taken away. They’ve taken away your free speech and the fake news is a threat to this country. They are just horrible. These are horrible people,” the former president said.
After nothing that some journalists are “good people,” Trump quickly reiterated that “most of them are just absolutely terrible human beings.”
“They are just so bad. I don’t know. It’s, uh, you know, it’s really hard to turn it back around unless they used to be like the police force. They’d write the truth, but they’re no longer the police force. They’re the police force for opposite. They’re a police force for bad. They’re bad. They’re bad people. And they’re very dishonest,” Trump told the crowd.
“But I will sign an executive order banning any federal employee from colluding to limit speech, and we will fire every federal bureaucrat who is engaged in domestic censorship under the Harris regime. We will do that.”
