Statehouse update with OCA President Chris Long- The Speaker vote fallout and what happens now?

Statement from the Ohio Christian Alliance on the Ohio House Election of Speaker Rep. Jason Stephens

Rep. Jason Stephens was elected by more Democrats than Republicans. Thirty-two Democrats voted for Stephens for Speaker, and only twenty-two renegade Republicans voted for him in a betrayal of the Ohio House Republican Caucus December vote which elected Rep. Derek Merrin for Speaker of the Ohio House. Twenty-two Republicans who pledged their support for Derek Merrin in December changed their votes on Tuesday and voted for Jason Stephens, joining the entire Democratic caucus. Derek Merrin lost the vote by a measure of 43-54. 

The Republican Caucus was shocked by the betrayal of the twenty-two Republicans who joined the Democrats to elect Jason Stephens as speaker.  This is truly now a house divided... Click here for the full Statement from the OCA

Part 2  Tom Zawistowski of the We The People Convention joins Chris Long to discuss the censorship of conservative voices by social media platforms and big tech. Shadow banning, blocking, and de-platforming conservatives on social media - who has been doing it? - The old Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Google. The voices of conservatives and their message have been censored by liberal big tech. The Twitter Files have confirmed that the conspiracy was real against conservatives and their message. The new Republican-controlled Congress will hold hearings on how government agencies, including the FBI, the Justice Department, and the Administration actually influenced social media to censor conservative Americans in violation of our Constitutional rights. The Twitter Files have revealed a lot of information about who was behind this orchestrated effort to silence the voices of conservatives.
