(ConcernedPatriot.com)—Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified before the House Judiciary Committee, expressing regret for his company’s significant role in assisting the Biden-Harris administration in withholding important information before the 2020 election and in helping to limit Americans’ constitutional speech.
While refusing to admit its influence on the most recent American elections, Zuckerberg also announced he was ending his “Zuck Bucks” program, presumably to ease the worries of certain lawmakers regarding the influence of wealthy political parties on elections.
The committee described Zuckerberg’s letter as a “big win for free speech.” However, it’s unclear whether his admissions will have real-world repercussions (such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s censorship case against the Biden-Harris administration).

Suppressing Oppositional Voices
In a damning letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Zuckerberg claimed that in 2021, the White House and other high-ranking Biden-Harris administration officials “repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree.”
In recent months and years, the committee has received a wealth of information demonstrating the scope of Facebook’s collaboration with the Biden-Harris administration to stifle criticism of the experimental COVID-19 vaccines, lockdown procedures, and masking.

Additionally, the committee has gathered other medically accurate data contradicting the Biden White House’s preferred pandemic narrative, which the White House knew to be false.
For example, the Biden White House took issue with a “vaccine discouraging humorous meme,” which it instructed the social media business to delete, according to an April 2021 email distributed by a Facebook staffer, purportedly on behalf of Zuckerberg and then-COO Sheryl Sandberg.
As previously reported by Blaze News, the banned meme exploited the “Pointing Rick Dalton” pattern by appropriating a still from the 2019 movie Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, in which Leonardo DiCaprio’s character makes a television-related remark.
The description for this image said, “10 years from now, you will be watching TV and hear…. ‘Did you or a loved one take the COVID vaccine?'” The Biden White House wanted it removed from the platform. You might be qualified for…” and reportedly received around 385,000 shares.
Facebook repeatedly deleted articles, memes, and medical facts about the COVID-19 lab leak idea, which is currently the most believable account.
According to Zuckerberg’s letter from Monday, the firm chose to comply with the government, remove content, and restrict users even though it knew the “government pressure was wrong” and could have ordered the Biden-Harris administration to pound sand.
“Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of pressure,” said Zuckerberg.
Facebook was more than happy to comply with the Democratic administration’s demands. Still, CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that the business is “ready to push back if something like this happens again,” perhaps aware that he may soon be dealing with a Republican administration.
Election Interference
In his letter, Zuckerberg also admitted that Facebook had suppressed an accurate story published in the publication Alexander Hamilton created before the 2020 election.

“The FBI warned us about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead up to the 2020 election,” wrote the Facebook CEO. “That fall, when we saw a New York Post story reporting on corruption allegations involving then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s family, we sent that story to fact-checkers for review and temporarily demoted it while waiting for a reply.”
“It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story,” added Zuckerberg.
One of the issues highlighted in the New York Post’s withheld report was that a Burisma board adviser praised Hunter Biden for introducing him to Joe Biden around a year before Biden allegedly blackmailed the nation of Eastern Europe while serving as vice president to have the prosecutor looking into Burisma removed.
The investigation also raised the possibility that Joe Biden was a compromised candidate—or at the absolute least dishonest—due to his son’s and his own conduct.
Facebook attempted to stifle the report, but in the final weeks leading up to the election, anti-Trump intelligence community members, including active security state members, intervened to defend Biden.
On October 19, 2020, a public letter was released, claiming that the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” meant to harm the Democrat’s candidacy.
Later, former CIA deputy director Michael Morell told Congress in testimony that he had arranged the letter to “assist Vice President Biden,” but more precisely, to “assist him to win the election.”
In his letter, Zuckerberg reassured Jordan that Facebook had changed its policies and procedures “to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” adding that content is no longer inadvertently demoted.
At the same time, purported fact-checkers determine whether it’s appropriate for public consumption. This was done in response to Biden’s assistance in gaining a firm grasp on the 2020 election narrative and potentially the White House.
He also discussed his donations to “support electoral infrastructure” during the previous presidential election.
Zuckerberg and his spouse, Priscilla Chan, allegedly donated over $400 million to grants that purportedly assisted with voter accommodations and election management.
“They were designed to be non-partisan — spread across urban, rural, and suburban communities,” wrote Zuckerberg. “Still, despite the analyses I’ve seen showing otherwise, I know that some people believe this work benefited one party over the other. My goal is to be neutral and not play a role one way or another — or to even appear to be playing a arole. So I don’t plan on making a similar contribution this cycle.”
Opponents have instead claimed that “Zuck Bucks” was a partisan plot designed to increase the number of Democratic ballots cast.
The Weak Response
The committee hailed the letter as a “huge victory for free speech.” Still, columnist Auron MacIntyre of Blaze News pointed out that a victory happens when adversaries suffer a consequence.
Will there be a jail release? Is there an impeachment proceeding? Is anyone receiving a fine at all? No, you recently learned that your adversaries rigged the election to win the White House.”
No, a win occurs when your enemies pay a price
Is someone going to jail? Is someone getting impeached? Is anyone even getting fined?
No, you just got a confession that your enemies rigged the election and were rewarded with the White House https://t.co/X4weDbB6Xh

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) shared a similar opinion, saying that the letter came too little, too late, and that “Facebook may have changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential race. Four years later, we get a letter saying ‘sorry.'”
Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) commented, “Mark Zuckerberg comes clean and finally admits what everyone already knows he and META did to influence the 2020 election.”
Sounds like a First Amendment violation https://t.co/RjEF8gU0A0

Podcaster Patrick Bet-David hypothesized that Zuckerberg might have disclosed these details for three reasons: 1. He acts honorably [;] 2. He has left the Democratic Party[; and/or] 3. He is getting ahead of potential whistleblowers.”
BREAKING: Mark Zuckerberg just admitted to working with Biden/Harris admin to censor Americans.
He either admitted to this because:
1. He’s being honorable
2. He’s done with the Dem party
3. He’s getting ahead of a whistleblowerEither way this is a VERY HARD letter to write. pic.twitter.com/y64cOQjY15

Should Mark Zuckerberg be held responsible and subject to prosecution?
