The National Archives reported Feb. 1 that during a White House press briefing Monday, Biden administration press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed that President Biden and his team fully support the tech giant’s censorship of civil speech, noting that the administration supports the tech giant’s authority to further restrict “hate speech. “
In response to a question about how the speech to seal Trump‘s name affects the current administration, Pasaki said, “It’s probably unbelievable that not a lot of Time will be spent here thinking or talking about former President Trump.”
Passage continued, “I think that’s an issue that’s more appropriate for Republican lawmakers to discuss, and they’re looking for ways to support it on both sides of the aisle. But I can’t say we’re going to miss Trump on Twitter.”
Pasaki added, “We’ve spoken to Biden, and Biden has talked about the need for social media platforms to continue to take steps to reduce hate speech, and this is a must.”

Pasaki also previously said voters “shouldn’t be surprised” that Biden’s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen took millions of dollars paid by hedge funds. At a White House news conference on Thursday, Pasaki downplayed the fact that Citadel LLC paid Biden’s Treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, $810,000 for a speech.
Hedge funds Citadel and Point72 (Point72) pumped nearly $3 billion into Melvin Capital last week after it suffered a huge loss on a bet to short video game retailer GameStop (Gamestop). The White House said Wednesday that Yellen is closely monitoring developments and advising Biden on the Gamestop short-selling issue.
A reporter then asked at Thursday’s news conference, “You did mention yesterday that Treasury Secretary Yellen is monitoring the situation and taking control. Her previous business dealings with Castle Capital and the speaking fees she received from Castle Capital have been a concern; what are the plans for her to recuse herself from advising on the situation with GameStop and the Robinhood trading platform?”
Pasaki replied, “I’ll get back to you later.” Her answer sparked ridicule; it turns out she didn’t have an answer there and had to ask to find out.
