GOP senator launches investigation into Google over Trump assassination trickery

It’s looking more and more like Big Tech is once again going to interfere in the election by tilting the table in the Democrats’ favor and Republican lawmakers want answers.

Senator Roger Marshall (R-OK) plans to probe Google over a key feature that appeared to cook the search results about the failed assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump, omitting results about the July 13 incident in which he was grazed by a sniper’s bullet.

In a Wednesday letter to the tech giant’s CEO Sundar Pichai, he accused Google of trickery with its search engine that’s yet another “example of censorship against conservative voices” and that the company showed “willful discrimination against President Trump and users of your search engine.”

Marshall, who’s a member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, called for the Google chief to testify before Congress about what appears to be an outrageous attempt to suppress information as the company has engaged in a yearslong campaign of censorship against Trump and conservative viewpoints, just like the rest of Democrat-loyal Silicon Valley has.

“I am launching a full investigation into @Google’s censorship & bias that is constricting the free flow of information. Google, the largest Search Engine Operator in the world, has become a propaganda wing of the Left. No more hiding behind your algorithm- your time is up,” the senator said in a post to X, sharing a copy of the letter.

“Google, the largest Search Engine Operator in the world, has become a propaganda wing of the Biden-Harris Administration and the radical Left,” Marshall said in a statement according to Fox Business.

“We’ve known Big Tech has propped up the Biden Crime Family, and the Clintons and is now doing Kamala Harris’ bidding, but this week, they have shown there truly is no low they won’t go to, including censoring the assassination attempt of President Trump,” he added. “This is election interference — there must be accountability.”

Marshall’s letter comes as Facebook was also caught engaging in censorship of the iconic image of a bloodied Trump defiantly thrusting his fist in the air after he came within an inch or two of having his head blown off live on CNN.

“Facebook has just admitted that it wrongly censored the Trump ‘attempted assassination photo,’ and got caught. Same thing for Google. They made it virtually impossible to find pictures or anything about this heinous act. Both are facing BIG BACKLASH OVER CENSORSHIP CLAIMS. Here we go again, another attempt at RIGGING THE ELECTION!!! GO AFTER META AND GOOGLE. LET THEM KNOW WE ARE ALL WISE TO THEM, WILL BE MUCH TOUGHER THIS TIME,” Trump said in a Tuesday post to Truth Social.

“If Google wants to be MSNBC, then they need to lose their protection on [Section] 230. Google was supposed to be the county square, where you and I and your listeners can go post information that we want to. They’re not supposed to be a censor, so they’re practicing, they’re functioning as a censor,” Marshall said during an appearance on “Varney & Company” on Fox Business.

“They don’t want to see President Trump viewed as a hero, which he was on that day when he literally took a bullet, he stands up and he yells, ‘Fight, fight, fight!'” he added. “This is election interference in my estimation. What is the value of the largest search engine in the world actually suppressing President Trump?”

Also on Wednesday, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas demanding answers on the tech censorship of the assassination attempt, citing his “department’s history of strong-arming tech organizations to censor.”
