Michael Shellenberger had to tell Dem Rep at Twitter Files hearing who Bari Weiss is

A House subcommittee today is holding a hearing on the weaponization of the federal government on the Twitter Files. Here’s what it’s all about:

During an interview with Fox News Digital, Jordan, R-Ohio, laid out the investigations the House Judiciary Committee and his Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government are conducting in the 118th Congress.

“We thought the government was pressuring Big Tech to do certain things on the Hunter Biden story, and then, the Twitter files come out, and we’re like, ‘Oh, it’s worse than we thought,’” Jordan said.

Jordan’s committee is investigating how the FBI and Big Tech companies like Twitter allegedly coordinated to censor stories about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings and his laptop days before the 2020 presidential election.

The witnesses at today’s hearing are journalists (or “so-called journalists” as one Dem called them) were Michael Shellenberger and Matt Taibbi. Now, you’d think a member of Congress on a select committee would bother to study up on the subject matter at hand, but as we’ve seen with other things exposing the truth isn’t always high on the list of priorities.

Bari Weiss, formerly of the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, has been among journalists releasing Twitter Files. But that was news to Rep. Sylvia Garcia at today’s hearing:

I cannot stop laughing at ⁦@RepSylviaGarcia⁩ learning for the first time who ⁦@bariweiss⁩ is and sincerely asking if Bari,@mtaibbi⁩, and ⁦@ShellenbergerMD⁩ are a threesome on a mission to spread disinformation via the #TwitterFiles. 😂😂🤡🤡 pic.twitter.com/5Ov6XRl6XX
