Transitions
PETE, they are back
PETE. They are back
thats. The first tweet from the
New York Post after Twitter,
finally unlocked their account,
letting them out of twitter
jail.
The social media giant backing
down from two week battle with
the post after initially
demanding they delete tweets
linked to their now confirmed
Hunter Biden Report
here to discuss New York Post opinion, editor and columnist so
opinion editor and columnist. So
he rob Ahmari. We have had you
on. You said the New York Post.
You said the New York Post
will not back down most people,
dont win the New York Post
did
why?
I think, because we had truth
on our side.
This was never hacked material
to begin with, so we didnt
violate any policy.
We just did journalism
and it was so important for us
to stand our ground because, as
you know, lots of people were
advising us to delete six tweets
and retweet them as Twitter had
asked.
Jake Tapper said that yesterday
from CNN.
Well, if we had done that for
the rest of our existence, our
critics would say the New York
Post, the newspaper that
deleted its tweets under
fact checking scrutiny from
Twitter,
so it just. I think there is
an inspirational lesson for all
Americans. Here we are entering
this age of a bullying, liberal
consensus in your workplace and
classroom.
We have got to stand up as much
as you can when you have the
truth and conscience on your
side.
We believe we did good
reporting
stand by it and sometimes can
you win
in the end. Truth always wins
PETE its great to see because
the little guy whose account
gets blocked or censored doesnt
have the recourse or doesnt
have a Senate hearing that
exposes these tech oligarchs.
The New York Post showed
leadership. We werent wrong. We
are going to hold our ground
look forward to seeing you guys
back on Twitter.
I want to get your take on one
more subject.
You wrote an op ed in the post
recently that has this title.
Why french terror attacks are
stark warning to the? U dot S,
voters Sohrab there hasnt been
coverage on this attacks on
Christians and radical Islamists
in Europe.
Why is this a warning for? U DOT s
voters right now?
Well because of the horrible attacks in Nyeste
attacks in Nyeste.
It put me in in nice, DOT Isis Rag
Homeland and the Obama by
administration did not want to
use the word radical Islam
denied. There was religious
component to this called the
major Nadal Hasan Workplace
violence. Instead of, I think
people should remember that, and
we now have an administration
that calls things by its names,
thats first step to confronting
a threat. Is why what it is?
We have had very few and much
less under the Trump
administration, which is
something the president doesnt
get nearly enough credit for
so as terror begins to mount
again in Europe,
its important for Americans. To
remember that you know you
have an administration now that
calls things by its name and
thats the first
PETE Sohrab such a great point.
You forget about the workplace,
violence or extremism, innocuous
terms, as opposed to being honest
where it comes from.
Thank you for speaking truth and.
