I want to address a couple things. During the ranking member's opening statement, he talked about misinformation coming from this administration. And I just want to point out that The Biden Surgeon General, Dr. Murthy, was actually... ruled against [by the Fifth Circuit Court] in 2023 for trying to censor free speech on social media. That's misinformation. And so for us just to throw out an accusation like that with no evidence when the ranking member was completely silent when that took place, really some hypocrisy there.

CLAIM

Asserts that the Fifth Circuit Court ruled against Dr. Murthy for attempting to censor free speech on social media.
