“Democrat White House hopeful Joe Biden’s campaign attempted this week to push the New York Times (NYT), Twitter, and Facebook into extinguishing stories and presidential campaign ads about the Ukraine corruption scandal linked to the former vice president, to no avail.”
On Wednesday, CNN revealed the Biden campaign “did not rule out” reaching out to Google and YouTube as well.
The Biden campaign sent letters to Facebook and Twitter, demanding that they ban an ad by U.S. President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign.
Trump’s re-election campaign ad accuses the former vice president and his son, Hunter Biden, of corrupt activities in Ukraine.
Unlike CNN, the Times, Facebook, and Twitter have resited Biden’s effort to silence Trump’s assertion that Biden engaged in improper dealings with Ukraine while serving as vice president.
Irked by Facebook’s response, Biden campaign spokesperson TJ Ducklo called the reply “unacceptable” and said that the dissemination of “objectively false information to influence public opinion poisons the public discourse and chips away at our democracy.”
Ducklo did not explicitly comment on the substance of the ad’s accusations.
The video asserts that Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in aid to Ukraine unless the eastern European country fired a prosecutor reportedly investigating an energy company. Hunter Biden served on the Ukrainian company’s board at the time.
Biden bragged on video about bullying Ukraine into firing the prosecutor.
Titled “Biden Corruption,” the 30-second video clip is running on various cable networks and online.
Joe Biden boasted that as vice president he threatened to withhold $1 billion in foreign aid from Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor looking into a lucrative contract held by his son, Hunter Biden. Text TRUMP to 88022
