Fox News stars Jesse Watters and Judge Jeanine Pirro called out Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for defending Big Tech censorship by falsely claiming the Hunter Biden laptop story was “half-fake.”
As Slay News reported, during Wednesday’s explosive House Oversight Committee hearing on Big Tech censorship, AOC tried to downplay Twitter’s efforts to censor the laptop story in the days leading up to the 2020 election.
The Committee had called Twitter’s former Chief Legal Officer Vijaya Gadde, former Deputy General Counsel James Baker, and former Global Head of Trust and Safety Yoel Roth to testify about their decisions to censor information on the platform.
Lawmakers grilled the former executives about their efforts to censor the laptop story, ban President Donald Trump, interfere in America’s elections, and suppress the opinions of renowned medical experts.
During the hearing, AOC tried to claim that the coordinated effort to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story was just a “24-hour hiccup.”
AOC said yesterday:
“We could be talking about the cost of prescription drugs, abortion rights, civil rights, voting rights, but instead, we’re talking about Hunter Biden’s half-fake laptop story.
“I mean, this is an embarrassment, but I’ll go into it.”
The co-hosts of “The Five” blasted AOC over the claims.
Watters said: “So big business conspired with the FBI to pick a president and AOC doesn’t care?
“She’d rather talk about all these other things.
“Well, she was at the Oversight Committee for the last two years.
“She didn’t haul in any CEO, any titan of industry and grill them. She didn’t do anything.
“And why is AOC taking Hunter’s side?
“That’s who she wants to throw down with? Hunter Biden?
“Who’s dropping N-words on the laptop, sexually harassing his assistants, the silver spoon, the corrupt guy who is dragging his you know what, all over the place, taking everyone’s cash.”

“She loves a bad boy Jesse,” co-host Greg Gutfeld joked.
“How much, though? She is engaged,” Watters said.
“Listen, I wouldn’t take sides with that guy Hunter Biden.
“Goes against everything she stands for.”
Judge Jeanine Pirro said:
“We already know from the numbers that, but for the suppression of this laptop, a lot of people might have voted differently.
“And I also think that it’s important to note that when you’ve got an FBI that is reaching out to social media companies and saying, be on the lookout for a link to Russian disinformation on the laptop, and then you’ve got the FBI lying to a FISA court, and then you’ve got all kinds of agencies getting involved.
“Like even with a balloon saying we didn’t tell the president for a bunch of days.
“You start to wonder who’s running the country?
“Is the president running the country or are these agencies running the country,” she said.
