Legal expert jokes about Jim Jordan 'Festivus' hearing: 'airing of Republican grievances'

The push to expose bias on behalf of pre-X/Twitter (before Elon Musk purchased the site) is being mocked by former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance as the government's own version of Festivus.

During Wednesday's hearing, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government, called out some social media companies as part of a "censorship industrial complex" and has been trying to expose the "governments' efforts to censor the American people."

And he touted Musk for calling Twitter after he purchased it "both a social media company and a crime scene."

The jovial tone of Vance's argument is a throwback to a Seinfeld episode harping on it getting out that George Constanza's dad invented a kind of anti-Christmas holiday to protest the over-saturation of consumerism and inspired the other characters to become Scrooges.
