Tucker Carlson says he has obtained more Hunter Biden emails that ‘expose corruption’

After Facebook and Twitter took action Wednesday to reduce distribution of the Biden story, Carlson took aim at the social media giants on his prime-time show.

“Most of us never imagined it could happen in this country, and yet, Wednesday, it did happen,” Carlson said.

“A major American newspaper published a story, apparently an entirely accurate story, about a presidential candidate. The tech monopolies that control American media feared this story might hurt that candidate, whom they favor. So three weeks before a national election, they shut the whole thing down,” he continued.

The report claims that the younger Biden facilitated a meeting between his father, then vice president, and a Ukrainian official working for the energy firm Burisma. That information contradicts Joe Biden’s statement denying ever discussing his son’s overseas business dealings with him.

“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Biden said last year. “Here’s what I know — Trump should be investigated.”

The meeting between Joe Biden and Vadym Pozharskyi came to light in an email the Ukrainian official allegedly sent to the younger Biden, which was obtained by the New York Post. The story claims the email was found on a computer belonging to Hunter Biden that was abandoned at a Delaware repair shop.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email dated April 17, 2015, reads.

Shortly after the story was published, Facebook and Twitter took action to reduce its distribution.

“While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post,” said Facebook spokesman Andy Stone, “I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.”

“This is part of our standard process to reduce the spread of misinformation. We temporarily reduce distribution pending fact-checker review,” he added.

Twitter took even harsher action, disabling the ability to tweet or send any direct message containing a link to the story. The tech giant then began disabling well-known accounts that had shared the link, including the New York Post itself and White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.

“They prevented the public from reading the news. They didn’t apologize for doing this. They didn’t bother to make up reasonable-sounding justifications for it. They just did it, exactly as the Chinese government does. These are monopolies. They have all the power, you have none. They don’t have to care about what you think, and they don’t,” Carlson said on his show last night.

“This was mass censorship on a scale that America has never experienced in 245 years, and it’s a threat to all of us. Democracies only function when there is a free exchange of information between citizens. We no longer have that,” he continued.
