   We will just have to see how they go about it.   
      
   I just don't like the federal government telling people what the truth   
   is.   
      
   The government was fine with Twitter censoring the Hunter Biden laptop   
   story, but now that Twitter has a new owner and that   
   laptop story can be discussed in detail, the government is very   
   concerned.
