00:00:01.443 --> 00:00:05.980
Sen. Johnson: Mr. Dorsey, you

00:00:05.980 --> 00:00:06.381
talked about your policies

00:00:06.514 --> 00:00:09.984
toward misinformation and you

00:00:09.984 --> 00:00:10.985
will block this information if

00:00:12.520 --> 00:00:14.989
it's about integrity, election

00:00:16.558 --> 00:00:16.991
interference.

00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:18.993
Let me give you a tweet that was

00:00:19.027 --> 00:00:20.095
put up on Twitter that says

00:00:20.595 --> 00:00:26.000
senator Ron Johnson strangled

00:00:26.134 --> 00:00:27.001
our dog buttons right in front

00:00:27.001 --> 00:00:29.003
of my four-year-old son and

00:00:29.003 --> 00:00:29.237
daughter.

00:00:31.005 --> 00:00:32.140
The police refused to

00:00:32.273 --> 00:00:32.540
investigate.

00:00:32.674 --> 00:00:35.009
This is a complete lie but

00:00:35.143 --> 00:00:36.244
important to retweet and note

00:00:37.011 --> 00:00:37.412
that there are more of my lies

00:00:37.545 --> 00:00:38.012
to come.

00:00:40.014 --> 00:00:44.152
We contacted Twitter and we

00:00:44.285 --> 00:00:46.154
asked them to take it down.

00:00:46.287 --> 00:00:48.223
They responded by saying, thanks

00:00:48.356 --> 00:00:49.023
for reaching out.

00:00:49.057 --> 00:00:50.458
We refer this to our support

00:00:50.592 --> 00:00:51.626
team and they have determined

00:00:52.026 --> 00:00:52.627
this is not a violation of our

00:00:53.027 --> 00:00:54.027
policies.

00:00:54.129 --> 00:00:57.499
So Mr. Dorsey, how could a

00:00:57.632 --> 00:00:59.534
complete lie -- it is a lie,

00:00:59.667 --> 00:01:04.672
it's admitted, how can you view

00:01:06.274 --> 00:01:10.412
that -- that could impact my

00:01:10.545 --> 00:01:11.045
ability to get reelected.

00:01:12.380 --> 00:01:14.048
How could they not be a

00:01:14.048 --> 00:01:14.549
violation of voter suppression?

00:01:15.417 --> 00:01:17.051
If people think I'm strangling

00:01:17.185 --> 00:01:19.053
my neighbors dog, they may not

00:01:19.053 --> 00:01:20.054
show up at the polls.

00:01:20.522 --> 00:01:21.122
That would be voter suppression.

00:01:22.557 --> 00:01:23.691
Why didn't Twitter take that --

00:01:24.626 --> 00:01:29.063
that tweet was retweeted like

00:01:29.063 --> 00:01:33.067
17,000 times and viewed and

00:01:33.067 --> 00:01:34.135
commented on and appreciated by

00:01:35.069 --> 00:01:35.170
over 50,000 people.

00:01:38.072 --> 00:01:39.073
How is that not voter

00:01:39.140 --> 00:01:39.607
suppression or election

00:01:39.741 --> 00:01:42.076
interference, how is that not a

00:01:42.143 --> 00:01:43.178
breach of civic integrity?

00:01:44.078 --> 00:01:46.314
Mr. Dorsey: We will have to look
