Fox News Greg Gutfeld said the White House is monitoring Twitter so much because Washington bureaucrats feel like they’re going to lose their crutch.
Gutfeld made his comments on Tuesday night’s “The Five” program.
“Their news and their opinions are created by Twitter trends,” he said. “Which is kind of created by a loud minority of time-wasting shut-ins.”
Twitter CEO Elon Musk has been under fire by left-leaning pundits since purchasing the platform for $44 billion. Last week, he reinstated former President Donald Trump’s account. Former CEO Jack Dorsey had banned Trump immediately after the Jan 6th riots.
“What you’re seeing on Twitter now is that all of those unoriginal thoughts may go away,” said Gutfeld. “Where are those thoughts going? You notice that if you’re on Twitter it’s a lot more fun recently.”
Gutfeld added that a lot of liberals have migrated to Mastodon Social.
“They took their own weird practices with them and what’s left on Twitter is kind of a more freeing speech.”
“The reason why I think that the government and the media don’t like someone who is widening the lanes of free speech is because they defined disagreeableness as hate speech and hate speech as crime, therefore disagreeable speech on Twitter makes free speech a crime.”
