The lying Left has chosen a new narrative to distract from the Hunter Biden laptop story. ‘This is revenge porn’, they say. ‘Why are they picking on a poor guy who is struggling from addiction?’ Perhaps the most creative: ‘Conservatives are mad they can’t share pics of Hunter’s junk!’
There are two major, very much related, news stories that underlie the Hunter Biden laptop scandal: (1) information reported on the laptop implies Joe Biden may have been involved in corruption, and (2) the news media and big tech worked together to hide this information from the public.
Here we are, over two years later, and the same actors are doing everything within their power to dismiss the story rather than investigate its claims.
If you've been waiting all weekend to share pics of the president's son's willie, @Timodc has some disappointing news for you: https://t.co/Ovtd2PreFc

‘That’s a nice strawman you’ve got there. It’d be a shame if he got hurt.’
Let’s break down the dishonest sleight-of-hand at play in Tim Miller’s Bullwork screed.
Matt Taibbi is very upset that the Biden campaign asked a platform to take down some revenge porn targeting the candidates son.
I’m sure matt would be totes cool with people tweeting out his adult kids dick bc they didn’t like him and would not ask his buddy Elon to help. https://t.co/MyfmBe1c91
— Tim Miller (@Timodc) December 3, 2022
He focuses on the above tweet, used by Taibbi to show Democrats enjoyed a channel to request removal of tweets. To Miller, this proves the whole thing is about … umm … Richard pics.
It’s not. These tweets apparently directly linked to nude photos of Hunter Biden. It’s perfectly reasonable to spike these tweets. It would be nice if Twitter did a better job at removing all porn, frankly, even the stuff that doesn’t feature the president’s son.
(Seriously, trying searching Twitter for ‘revenge porn’ to research a Twitchy article. We’re going to need to purchase some more eye bleach! LOL.)
Miller eventually concludes:
And that’s the big hubbub. Social media company removes unwanted dick pics: News at 11.
He doesn’t believe this. He just wants you to believe it.
You can view the NY Post’s original story, and you’ll see there were no nude photos of Hunter Biden, yet the story got canned and the newspaper’s account was suspended.
"Twitter wasn't interfering in the election on behalf of Joe Biden, it was just protecting an innocent victim of revenge porn" is amazing gaslighting, even by the usual standards of the Left.

We don’t have tell you that most of the people parroting the ‘revenge porn’ narrative were also tripping over their squeaky red shoes to glom onto the ‘Russian disinformation’ narrative when the laptop story first dropped.
They didn’t use this lame ‘revenge porn’ narrative back then because it would have been just as dumb two years ago. It’s all they’ve got though.
The memo has gone out to the grifter Never Trump crowd … call it revenge porn.
Kristol, Lincoln Project, French, Sykes, Rubin, Jonah Goldberg can all get bent. They are horrible scam artists who believe in nothing except promoting their next clickbait article. https://t.co/3jSVBYniOg

Whatever it takes to protect ‘the Big Guy’.
Deleting pornographic pictures of Hunter Biden was appropriate. Twitter's suppression of the New York Post story about Hunter’s laptop was far less defensible. But no amount of misguided rhetoric can transform a Twitter story into a government scandal. https://t.co/srFyYcFyDX

We know … you’re shocked David French joined Team Revenge Porn with a take so bad even Elon Musk responded.
Reality:
Biden campaign asked Twitter to do something about posting illegal revenge porn of Hunter Biden
Right wing:
OMG PRESIDENT BIDEN VIOLATED THE FIRST AMENDMENT
There's no bridging this, so it's not worth trying

He just revealed the end game for all us: ‘There’s no bridging this, so it’s not worth trying.’
In other words ‘we shot down the fake story, so everyone should now ignore the real story’.
So this is what they furiously worked through the night to counteract the @mtaibbi tweet storm… Hunter's dick and revenge porn.

Does the Gaslighter’s Union get time and a half?
The “Hunter Struggled with addiction” talking point has dropped.
Pretty shameless to exploit addiction to deflect from the Burisma scandal. pic.twitter.com/eRRtfnqbjK

‘Poor drug-addicted Hunter is being picked on’ is the sister narrative to ‘revenge porn’.
“Twitter censored porn! The Right is exploiting Hunter’s addiction! Tailbbi is a horrible person! PR for the richest man!”
Yeah okay great, but can we address the facts of the release?
“REEEEEEEEEEE”

That’s where we’re at. Anything to distract from the actual story.
