Facebook has rejected a request from Joe Biden in which he asked them to remove an ad from the Trump campaign calling attention to Biden’s Ukraine corruption.

According to The Hill:

Facebook has denied a request from former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign to remove an ad being run by President Trump’s reelection campaign that questions Biden’s role in the firing of a Ukranian prosecutor.

CNN reports that Facebook, in a letter, responded to a removal request made by Biden’s campaign by saying its decision to let the ad remain is “grounded in Facebook’s fundamental belief in free expression, respect for the democratic process, and belief that in mature democracies with a free press, political speech is already arguably the most scrutinized speech there is.”

The 30-second video from the Trump campaign has also appeared on Twitter and YouTube.

The video accuses Biden of offering the aid money to Ukraine if it agreed to remove the prosecutor investigating a company tied to his son, Hunter Biden.

The Biden campaign has called the decision by Facebook “unacceptable.”

Biden needs to understand that if you go around bragging about certain actions and that bragadocio is recorded and published on the internet then all the temper tantrum in the world won’t change the situation.
Facebook is caught in a gotcha! If they keep the advert up it pisses of the liberal leftist lunatics.
If they take it down, it’s more fuel for the increasing demands to break up Mega-Tech companies, of which Facebook is a prominent member.

The socialists always resort to censoring.
Stiffling free speech is the the major trait of this red fascist ideology and every tinme socialists have gained power anywhere anytime in the world, their first action is to abolish free speech.
The Democrats have unmasked themselves as a red fascist party.

Funny that Biden sees the impropriety of the situation and would prohibit it in a Biden administration. Too soon old too late smart!

“Creepy JOE the PEDO” is worried about a video that he had made so he could act like “a big man” when it actually made him look like the fool he is!! You gotta laugh!! He is a complete waste of humanity!!
