Jim Jordan Throws Down the Gauntlet Against Government, CCDH Collusion #Political
The chickens are coming home to roost for the “digital brownshirts” at the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).
The Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government has launched an investigation into CCDH, an anti-free speech organization, and the outgoing Biden-Harris administration. The Republican-led subcommittee announced the probe via X on Nov. 7, a day after Donald Trump was declared president-elect. Subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) bluntly called on the CCDH to cough up internal documents about their effort to get rid of X, their promotion of censorship on the platform, and a meeting with Biden-Harris officials.
In a letter addressed to CCDH CEO Imran Ahmed, Jordan wrote, “Recent reporting has discussed internal documents from CCDH apparently showing that (1) CCDH has made ‘[k]ill[ing] [Elon] Musk’s Twitter’ a ‘[p]riority’ for the organization in 2024; (2) you emailed at least one Twitter executive to identify ‘groups/accounts/channels’ for censorship in 2020; and (3) CCDH held a private event in 20244 that included Executive Branch personnel.”

This is not the first time that Jordan has sought to hold CCDH accountable. The Ohio congressman wrote to the CCDH in August 2023 about their collusion with the federal government and support of censorship on social media. When the CCDH refused to provide the requested documents, Jordan subsequently issued a subpoena for these documents after CCDH refused to comply with the initial letter's requests.
Beyond pushing censorship on old Twitter and now seeking the destruction of X, the CCDH is also responsible for pushing censorship on YouTube to defend radical environmentalist orthodoxy. Egregiously, CCDH—which Media Research Center Founder Brent Bozell referred to as “digital brownshirts”— had also sought to censor crisis pregnancy center ads on Google. Targeting life-saving care by dedicated volunteers who love babies and mothers is part of what the CCDH does.
In his recent letter, Jordan reminded the CCDH that he had already subpoenaed documents from them and let the CCDH know that this subpoena applied to the new documents he was requesting as well.
Specifically, Jordan ordered the CCDH to produce any documents about their attempt to shut down X after Musk changed the social media platform’s name and its content moderation rules. Jordan also requested the CCDH hand over all their conversations with the government and social media platforms on suppressing free speech.
X owner Elon Musk supported the probe in a post on X, writing that the “CCDH should be prosecuted for interference in US elections by a foreign entity, among their many crimes.”
