But the evidence revealed at the hearing didn't support the GOP's thesis: that the FBI had ordered Twitter to remove a news story about Hunter Biden's laptop shortly before the 2020 election. What we did learn was that in 2019, the Trump White House contacted Twitter to demand a tweet by supermodel Chrissy Teigen mocking then-President Donald Trump be removed. The hearing revealed that Twitter had bent its rules to accommodate Trump's racist attacks on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Democratic women of color in "The Squad." Witness testimony also divulged that Twitter's management had refused to remove Trump tweets flagged by the company's moderation unit in the run-up to the Jan. 6 attack, which members of the unit warned could lead to violence. These are not the key takeaways Republicans presumably hoped for. This is a preview of Dean Obeidallah's latest article. [Read their full column here](.
