Hawley: Communist China-style Social Credit Scoring System Entering the U.S.
U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley (D-N.Y.) warned that a Communist China-style social credit scoring system is being introduced to the United States in the form of a “Culture of abolition.
In an article in the New York Post on Sunday, Hawley said, “Everyone knows what credit scoring is. But social credit scoring is something new. It is the latest import from Communist China. There, the government and big business spy on the social views and speech of every citizen.”
“It is the latest form of the ‘culture of cancellation’ in this country as big business monopolizes, and the left colludes to silence, speech they don’t like and impose its political agenda on America.”
He added, “Those who still believe in free speech and the First Amendment should take a stand (against it).”
Hawley added, “It’s going to get worse. The tech giants have already kicked out dozens of conservatives from social media. If they do whatever they want, half of the House Republican Conference will be expelled from Congress. The corporate giants seem to believe that the only way to make democracy to their liking is to remove all threats to the Democrats’ unified control of government.”
Hawley fights back, calls for ethics probe of 7 Democratic senators
U.S. Senators Josh Hawley (R-Texas) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), have been hit with ethics complaints by seven Democrats for opposing the results of Electoral College votes in some states on Jan. 6. Hawley fired back in two letters sent Jan. 25 and called for an ethics investigation of the Democrats.
In one of the letters, Hawley urged the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate the seven Democratic senators who filed complaints against him and Cruz, accusing the Democrats of filing “an ethics complaint of unprecedented stupidity and frivolity and impropriety. “.
Hawley also said they did not cite any relevant evidence and did not provide any good faith arguments.
In a letter sent to the Senate Ethics Committee on Jan. 25, Hawley wrote: “The complaint against me does not show that my opposition to Pennsylvania’s electoral vote was legally improper in any way. No Senator can seriously make such an interpretation. Federal law clearly grants senators the right to object to the results of any state’s electoral college vote that is not generated by compliance.”
“Democrats have also invoked this provision on numerous occasions. In fact, in every presidential election since 2000 in which Republicans have won, Democrats have attempted to object to electoral vote results on this basis, regardless of whether there is any good faith basis for such an objection.”
In his letter, Hawley further defended his decision to oppose the results of the Pennsylvania Electoral College vote. He said he had a “strong legal basis” for that decision.
He said their complaint was “clearly partisan” and urged the Senate Ethics Committee to conduct an ethics investigation of the Democrats.
Hawley added: “I will not be intimidated by your attempts to silence me, nor will the people of the state I represent be intimidated by you, and you should be ashamed that you have so grossly abused your office and the Senate.”
The Democratic senators who filed ethics complaints against Cruz and Hawley are Ron Wyden, Sheldon Whitehouse, Tina Smith, Richard Blumenthal, Maize Hirono Maize Hirono, Tim Kaine and Sherrod Brown.
