The Republicans accused Twitter and Facebook Thursday of working to protect Joe Biden from "increased scrutiny about the impropriety detailed in the Post article."

Recall that the New York Post was censored on social media and labelled fake news for the reporting directly before the election. Users were also prohibited from sharing the story.

All coverage of the revelations by Infowars and other alternative media sites was declared to be "false conspiracy theory."

Now, over a year later, the establishment media is suddenly desperate for everyone to know that the story is real.

In an open letter to Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal published Thursday, Republican lawmakers wrote "Shortly before the 2020 election, Twitter suppressed an explosive New York Post article detailing how Hunter Biden used the position and influence of his father, now-President Biden, for personal gain, with the apparent awareness of President Biden."

The letter continues, "We wrote to Twitter at the time with important questions about Twitter's knowing suppression of First-Amendment protected activity. Twitter ignored our letter and, in the months since, has avoided any meaningful accountability for its actions."

"Now, with even the New York Times confirming the accuracy of the Post's reporting, we are investigating Twitter's actions to interfere in free and fair election-related public discourse on its platform to the benefit of President Biden and the detriment of former President Trump." the letter concludes.
