House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said it is “offensive” that the White House plans to monitor Elon Musk\u2019s Twitter,<\/a> stressing that Republicans “will no longer let government go after people simply because of their political views.”<\/p>\n

McCarthy, R-Calif., after a meeting at the White House Tuesday with President Biden, Vice President Harris and congressional leaders, was asked about White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s comments Monday that the White House would be “keeping a close eye” on Twitter under Musk.<\/a><\/p>\n

ELON MUSK SCORCHES MEDIA FOR BEING \u2018AGAINST FREE SPEECH,\u2019 ASKING WH TO MONITOR TWITTER: \u2018THIS IS MESSED UP\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“That is offensive to me,” McCarthy said. “The government\u2019s going to go after someone who wants to have free speech? What do they have to look at Twitter about? Do they want to go after the American public about whether they can have an opinion on something?”<\/p>\n

“I think our First Amendment stands up, and I think they should stop picking on Elon,” McCarthy said, adding that Musk has “succeeded in many places.”<\/p>\n

WHITE HOUSE SLAMMED FOR PLEDGING TO KEEP A ‘CLOSE EYE’ ON ‘DISINFORMATION’ ON TWITTER: ‘ABSOLUTELY INSANE’<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

He added: “One thing I would say when we talk about accountability \u2013 we will no longer let government go after people simply because of their political views.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

McCarthy\u2019s comments<\/a> come after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday addressed Twitter under Musk.<\/p>\n

“This is something that we’re certainly keeping an eye on,” Jean-Pierre said. “Look, we have always been very clear that when it comes to social media platforms it is their responsibility to make sure that when it comes to misinformation, when it comes to the hate that we\u2019re seeing, that they take action, that they continue to take action. Again, we’re all keeping a close eye on this.”<\/p>\n

She continued, “We’re all monitoring what\u2019s currently occurring. We see it with our own eyes of what you all are reporting and just for ourselves what is happening on Twitter.”<\/p>\n

“Again, we\u2019re all keeping a close eye on this,” she continued. “We are all monitoring what\u2019s currently occurring.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Musk has reinstated a number of Twitter accounts that had previously been suspended since taking over as CEO, including former President Trump\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Twitter, though, under Musk\u2019s leadership, has seen advertisers pull content from the social media platform, and has faced threats from Apple to remove the app from its app store should it violate the company’s content moderation practices.<\/p>\n

“Social media companies have a responsibility to prevent their platforms from being used by any user to incite violence, especially violence directed at individual communities as we have been seeing, and the president has been very clear on calling that out,” Jean-Pierre said Monday. “He\u2019ll continue to do that, and we\u2019re going to continue to monitor the situation”.<\/p>\n

Musk, on Monday, tweeted in response: “Why are so many in the media against free speech? This is messed up.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
