JESSE WATTERS: Our democracy was poisoned by a $40 billion tech company that censored conservatives

Fox News host Jesse Watters calls out former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey for purportedly lying to Congress about whether the company was censoring Republicans on "Jesse Watters Primetime."

JESSE WATTERS: People like Dan Bongino, Charlie Kirk, Libs of TikTok and even a Stanford doctor who said lockdowns would hurt children were secretly shadowbanned on Twitter. Their posts were being purged, buried, secretly censored. Many conservatives were straight-up being banned. Bongino had people telling him they couldn't find him on Twitter and Bongino is the most viral guy on Facebook, but he was a ghost on Twitter some weeks. No one could see him. The media told us we were imagining things. Headline after headline told us, "Move along, there's nothing to see here." Every reporter said Twitter isn't shadowbanning Republicans even though they were. The CEO at the time, Jack Dorsey, even went under oath to say the same thing.

EX-TWITTER CEO JACK DORSEY, LIBERAL MEDIA MEMBERS DENIED ‘SHADOWBANNING’ PRIOR TO ELON MUSK LEAK

Turns out, he lied under oath, lied to Congress — which is supposed to be a crime — and he lied to you. Twitter wasn't just censoring conservative speakers. Elon said today, they were even censoring Republican political campaigns… A $40 billion company rigged America's political debate to help their preferred political party. A private company was doing political favors for Democrat candidates. Election laws were broken. Elections were interfered with.

Twitter was providing in-kind contributions to Democrat candidates and none of this was disclosed. It was all done in the dark and Republican fundraising was affected. Democracy was poisoned.

New York City 'strongly' urges masks amid 'high levels' of COVID, flu, RSV

The New York City Department of Heath issued an advisory on Friday urging residents to wear a mask in certain situations amid "high levels of COVID-19, flu and RSV."

In a Friday press release, the New York City Department of Heath said that "high-quality masks" should be worn when "indoors and in crowded outdoor settings."

The advisory states that "everyone should wear a mask" when "in an indoor public setting, including inside stores, offices, lobbies, hallways, elevators, public transportation, schools, child care facilities, and other public shared spaces.

"The holiday season is about togetherness and there is a way to gather safely – even as respiratory viruses in our city are unusually high," said Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan. "It starts with protecting yourself. Vaccination and boosters are critical but so are common sense precautions like masking when indoors or among crowds and staying home if you don’t feel well. Also, get tested before getting together, and get treated quickly if you test positive. We want everyone to have a happy and – most of all – healthy holiday."

LOS ANGELES COVID CASES SURGE, BUT COUNTY HOLDS OFF ON MASK MANDATE

While New York City is holding off on a mask-mandate, Los Angeles County is considering reinstating its mask mandate as it recently re-entered the federal government's "high" activity category for COVID-19.

Dr. Barbara Ferrer, director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, said that the case rate is increasing by 6% each day.

Ferrer said that the department would issue a mask order if the percentage of COVID-19 patients reaches 10% and if the county remains under "high" activity for COVID-19 for two straight weeks.

According to FOX 11, the percentage of hospital beds occupied by COVID-19 patients is at 6.9%.
