Democrats love to claim that Republicans are banning books when local communities ban woke school material.
However, a smoking gun of evidence has shown that the Biden administration worked with Amazon to impose censorship on books that countered the regime’s COVID policies.
The scheme was discovered by the Hosue Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, and Chairman Jim Jordan posted the evidence to the public.
“Never-before-released internal emails subpoenaed by [Judiciary Committee] reveal that the Biden White House pressured Amazon to censor books that expressed views the White House did not approve of,” Jordan wrote.
It was senior White House official Andy Slavitt who not only demanded that Facebook censor Americans but also led the pressure campaign on Amazon.

Jordan also posted that “on March 2, 2021, Slavitt fired off an email demanding to know who he and his White House colleagues could talk to at the company about “the high levels of propaganda and misinformation and disinformation of [sic] Amazon?”

He revealed that in order to weed out books it considered “propaganda and misinformation,” the White House “ran keyword searches for controversial topics, such as ‘vaccine,’ and emailed Amazon when it didn’t like how the search results appeared.”
How did the Biden White House conclude that there was “propaganda and misinformation” in books sold in Amazon’s bookstore?
