A recently surfaced recording of a Zoom call between the Biden/Harris team from 2020 reveals disconcerting evidence of the team's intentional targeting and manipulation of voters and relentless bullying of media outlets to control information.

As RedState previously reported, the Missouri v. Biden (now styled Murthy v. Missouri) case is one of the most important free speech cases of recent years. Originally, the Fifth Circuit had ruled in favor of Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and entered an injunction against the officials accused of censorship. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court later ruled that the plaintiffs did not have proper standing.
Among many other things, Mr. Flaherty directly participated in the oral meeting where he and Andrew Slavitt pressured Twitter to de-platform Alex Berenson – critical information that the Government‘s discovery did not reveal. Mr. Flaherty emailed Nick Clegg, a senior Facebook executive, with a link to a Washington Post story about misinformation on Facebook, stating “not even sure what to say at this point.” Mr. Flaherty repeatedly participated in oral meetings with social-media platforms about so-called COVID “misinformation,” as documents filed by Plaintiffs repeatedly attest.

Given this information, it is even more upsetting to hear Flaherty's proud and gleeful remarks on the surfaced Zoom call.
Biden/Harris digital director Rob Flaherty says the DNC created a program to detect, track, and censor what it deemed "misinformation" (like Biden's mental decline). He calls it "critical" and "one of the more important decisions" made by the party in recent years. /2 pic.twitter.com/pbIqUnY8ib

“One of the smartest things that the party did itself was over the last couple of years, they actually invested in a team that Tim runs… to detect and track misinformation and misinformation narratives in various corners of the internet and then flag them to platforms as a violation of their policy.”
Of course, later, Flaherty refused to define "misinformation."

This is because, according to him, misinformation is anything they don't like. He was able to clearly define "misinformation narratives" in his team meeting, and in the below email, Flaherty is demanding that videos of Tucker Carlson saying the COVID-19 vaccine doesn't stop transmission be taken down, as well as posts of Tomi Lahren saying "my body, my choice" and refusing to take the vaccine.

But in the Zoom call, Flaherty said "misinformation narratives" include "conversation online about corruption or mental fitness...or [Biden's] record on the Crime Bill"—effectively defining "misinformation" as anything that the Biden team found inconvenient. /5 pic.twitter.com/HMKJfokeHG

Emails show Flaherty carrying out the (supposedly) counter-misinformation program in the White House, pushing Facebook to censor Tucker Carlson for correctly saying the COVID-19 vaccine didn't stop transmission, and Tomi Lahren for her strong "my body, my choice" stance. /3 pic.twitter.com/QgtATjqI2Z

Becca Rinkevich, the Rapid Response Director of that time, then touted that they have seen "a huge amount of volume and a lot of impact" on these "false" narratives, such as Biden's health or if he was being manipulated by the radical left.

As we dig deeper, the actual details of this manipulation are shocking.
The Biden/Harris team microtargeted voters exposed to the "disinformation" (aka reality) of Biden's mental decline. They used psychographic targeting, a tactic that Cambridge Analytica was highly scrutinized for after the 2016 election. /7 pic.twitter.com/YDTjbAU9YX

Interviewer: "So you’ve harvested my data, and then you’ve used that to target me in ways that I can’t see and that I don’t understand?"
Christopher Wylie: "So we would know what kinds of messaging you would be susceptible to —including the framing of it, the topics, the content, the tone, whether it’s scary or not—that kind of thing—so we’d know what you’d be susceptible to, where you’re going to consume that, and then how many times we need to touch you in order to change how you think about something."
RINKEVICH: "We targeted folks based on online behavioral cues, building out personas, based on the type of content they were consuming, what they were searching, the kinds of websites they were visiting so that we could target folks in real-time as they were exposed to that… pic.twitter.com/M92g62zQW3

She then proudly announced that their method had been successful in changing the minds of at least 200,000 voters.
But the Biden team didn't just get the media to forward their deception, they changed real votes. According to Rinkevich, "concern around [Biden's] mental acuity in particular went down by 8 points over the course of our campaign," resulting in "about 200K" votes for Biden. /16 pic.twitter.com/Siqtdoo3y4

To put things in perspective, Biden won by fewer than 200K votes in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, & Wisconsin ***combined*** 😲 /17 pic.twitter.com/jW2ULDbePw

These videos show the shocking truth of the way the left is ruthlessly trying to control information and the media, especially social media. Rob Flaherty eventually resigned from his position amidst the court battles, but Biden issued a statement honoring him for the way his team has "pioneered new methods of communication, and operated with unparalleled creativity, innovative spirit and a bias toward action."
The Democrats claim that Trump is a threat to democracy while they secretly control and manipulate people and information according to their own political agenda. There has never been a more important time to fight for the integrity of the Internet, for freedom of speech, and to expose the lies of those who have betrayed the trust of the American people.
