‘This is a mockery and a disgrace’: House weaponization panel descends into yelling

A hearing of the House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government descended into a shouting match on Thursday when Democrats raised objections to the Republican decision to allow witnesses to leave the hearing without being cross examined.

The committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), used the hearing to target what it alleges is abuse by the President Biden’s administration to try to control social media companies and manipulate what information users see on the platforms.
