Jim Jordan calls for House Judiciary hearing on 'cancel culture'

Source: The Hill

BY JOHN BOWDEN - 03/01/21 05:29 PM EST

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) called on Monday for the House Judiciary Committee to hold a public hearing on "cancel culture," arguing that the committee should investigate what he claimed was a wave of "censorship" occurring in private companies, on college campuses, and other facets of American life.

Jordan, the committee's ranking member, did not give a reason in his letter why the Judiciary Committee, which is tasked with overseeing the federal court system and law enforcement, would have purview over this issue.

The Ohio Republican argued instead in his letter that "cancel culture's long-term consequences to our democracy and our constitutional framework are serious and substantial." He referenced a number of issues including former President Trump's ban from Twitter in the wake of the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

. . .

Trump supporters have argued that tech companies were practicing censorship when they banned the former president and other prominent spreaders of conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 election. After the riot on Jan. 6, Twitter and Facebook both moved to remove Trump from their platforms.
