'There is plenty of blame to go around for why a MAGA-outfitted mob felt bold enough to break into the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday,' writes Erika_D_Smith Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Google deserve some of it, she writes.

California GOP legislative leader tweets, then deletes, false claim of antifa leading U.S. Capitol mob

But, but, but free speech trump said the words, he's been saying them for 4 years

It’s social media and main stream media

Also Gutenberg, for inventing that damned printing press.

I'm canceling my fucking subscription 😤 Done with your BS

California has nothing to do with it, an honest headline would read, American-owned social media companies. Quit trying to create news and form public opinion about a diverse state that is primarily liberal.

How about we blame news outlets for their whole 'both sides' crappola.

lol

Yo, call out the companies specifically. Why do you have to drag another state into this?

silence those you dont agree with, the mantra of the left.

Well parler from Nevada too. It's built for dangerous speech.

Nah, we're gonna blame TRUMP bc HE incited this mob with his words....

What kind of headline is this California media companies. It's fuking Facebook. Who even says that? It's Twitter. It's Parler
