The House Oversight Committee held a hearing on Wednesday regarding Twitter’s blocking of conservative accounts and the Hunter Biden laptop incident.
James Baker, Vijaya Gadde, and Yoel Roth—all three former Twitter employees—were present at the session when they were interrogated by Republican senators.
Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene lashed out at former Twitter executive Yoel Roth at one point during the session for supporting teens using the homosexual hookup app Grinder and for encouraging child trafficking on Twitter.
Watch:
“It’s amazing to me Mr. Roth as the head and Trust and Safety at Twitter your ability or should I say inability to remove child porn,” MTG said.
“Now here is something that disgusts me about you. In your doctoral dissertation entitled ‘Gay Data,’ you argued that minors should have access to grinder, an adult male gay hook-up app,” “Minors. Really?” The congresswoman continued her speech.
She went on saying: “You know, Elon Musk took over and he banned 44,000 accounts that were promoting child porn,” “You permanently banned my Twitter account, but you allowed child porn all over Twitter.”
