Quote:Arizona Governor-Elect Katie Hobbs is facing backlash as proof that her office requested for certain tweets to be censored came out of Elon Musk's release of the "Twitter Files," the internal documents showing collusion between government officials, campaign teams, and other like actors with the social media giant to silence political dissent.

On January 7 2021, the communications director for Hobbs' Secretary of State office emailed the Center for Internet Security (CIS), a 501 nonprofit cybersecurity organization that "makes the connected world a safer place for people, businesses, and governments through our core competencies of collaboration and innovation," according to their website.

"I'm flagging this Twitter account for your review," Hobbs' comms director wrote to misinformation@cisecurity.org, linking to an unidentified profile. The subject line was "Election Related Misinformation."

The "misinformation" department at CIS then forwarded the message along to an employee at Twitter, writing "Please see this report below from the Arizona SOS office. Please let me know if you have any questions."

"Thank you," Twitter wrote back. "We will escalate."

About seven hours later, a Twitter employee wrote again; "Thank you… both tweets have been removed from the service." Copied on this response was an employee at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a branch under the federal government's Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called for an investigation into the matter, writing, "The SOS of AZ and Gov candidate, Katie Hobbs, used the power of the AZ SOS to collude w/ Twitter to unconstitutionally violate 1st Amendment rights of Americans for her own political gain."

"This is communism and Hobbs can not be governor. I'm calling for a Federal investigation," she added.

"Arrest them all," conservative talk show host Todd Starnes said.

Lol so...you've caught Secretary of State & Governor-Elect Hobbs continuing to do the job she was elected to do in 2018 prior to starting the new job she was elected to last month? Brilliant, with this shocking evidence of an elected official at work no doubt would-be MAGA Queen Kari Lake will be "installed" in the Arizona Governor's mansion any minute now.

Ah, the delusion of the left. They are consistent, that’s for sure.

Seems highly suspect unless we can gain access to what tweets were asked to be censored.

Her job is to suppress free speech? Really? I wouldn't think that would be in the job description of a Secretary of State.
