These are the same Democrats insisting that the government didn't work with social media companies to censor opinions unhelpful to the preferred narratives (who then freaked out when a judge halted it from happening).

Hmm…. A committee set up to investigate censorship who has 8 committee members who want to censor witnesses. Isn’t that something. pic.twitter.com/yF2LE6oDvv

But it seems pretty on-brand for these Democrats.
