Angry Republicans have accused Big Tech, Democrats and the liberal media of collaborating to censor reports of Hunter Biden’s famous laptop after the New York Times finally admitted that the device was real.
“The New York Times admits what we’ve known for years: The Hunter Biden laptop story was true. Big tech censorship of this story was a shame,” said Tom Cotton (R-Ark.). tweeted Thursday morning.
“For decades, the Biden family has been denying Joe’s government service,” Cotton added in a later tweet. “Even today, Hunter Biden gets paid millions for his ‘artwork’ in a corrupt arrangement blessed by the White House.”
The GOP setback was in response to a Gray Lady report earlier this week that later verified a trove of emails on the laptop’s hard drive – 17 months after the post first began reporting on it.
President Biden and his administration had previously dismissed The Post’s exclusive report on the laptop – which Hunter filed in a Delaware repair shop in 2019 – as Russian false information.
De Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) Felt that the “coverage” helped President Biden secure victory in the 2020 election.
“@Nytimes confirms what many of us already knew: Democrats and their allies in media and big tech have banded together to cover up the story of Hunter Biden to help @JoeBiden win a presidential election,” Scott tweeted.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) Calls for a Congressional inquiry after the Times report.
“Tonight, I call for a congressional inquiry into how big tech, mainstream media, and the democratic industry complex have merged to quell the Hunter Biden scandal – and in the final days of the 2020 election,” he said. tweeted.
Lauren Boebert (R-Col.) rapped on Twitter: “Now that the New York Times has even confirmed the truth about the Hunter Biden laptop, can we begin to admit that Joe Biden is, by definition, a compromised politician?”
Meanwhile, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) tweeted a link to a post story about the Times’ confirmation, and simply says, “You said.”
And the House Justice GOP has linked the laptop scandal to claims by Democrats that former President Donald Trump collaborated with Russia ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
“They told you that President Trump was cooperating with Russia,” she said tweeted. “He did not. They told you that Hunter Biden’s laptop had been forged. It was not.”
