Washington, D.C. — Wednesday, Rep. August Pfluger (TX-11) released a statement following Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s statements on Joe Rogan’s podcast admitting that Facebook censored the Hunter Biden laptop story:

“Mark Zuckerberg flippantly admitting that Facebook censored the Hunter Biden laptop story supposedly at the request of the FBI should alarm every American regardless of their political party.

“This is exactly why I worked to shut down the DHS “Disinformation” Board. Washington bureaucrats and Big Tech giants cannot be allowed to serve as the arbiters of truth.

“Free speech matters. I will never stop defending it.”
