The takedown piece was associated to Jan. 6 arrestees accumulating donations by way of crowdfunding websites.

Greenwald accused USA Today reporters of censoring the efforts after the mainstream publication’s article, titled “Insurrection fundraiser: Capitol riot extremists, Trump supporters raise money for lawyer bills online,” named the donation platforms used resembling Christian crowdfunding web site GiveSendGo.

“The funniest thing is, in order to defend Silicon Valley giants, liberals unwittingly adopted the most extreme form of libertarian laissez faire economics – private corporations can do what they want, associate with whom they want – yet apply it only to monopolies but nobody else,” Greenwald identified through Twitter thread.

“YT is a private company. Have you tried creating your own platform?” The Bongino Report reiterated the flawed libertarian argument that is usually regurgitated by the left and its allies every time any conservative is censored.

“I am very pro free speech,” tweeted YouTuber Tim Pool who has been named in Right Wing Watch articles since 2019. The most up-to-date Pool point out was for defending Disney+ star Gina Carano over the actress’s controversial Instagram story, blaming company media and Hollywood for cancelling Carano “because she was brave enough to speak out,” Pool tweeted on the time. “Any and all dissent must be crushed I wonder though. Why you got mad because she was criticizing people who supported the Nazis Strike a little too close to home for you?”

“I will no longer defend anti-speech scumbags who set fire to the system for ideological gain when they get burned by their own arson,” Pool declared Monday.
