representative threw it right back at him that the studies he sited were flawed, and he could meet separately, and show not only whyt that was the case, but also other studies they used.
Of course the repuke ignored the answer, and just said that study was done by a person who supported Hillary Clinton, as though that was justification why the study was not flawed.
The intentional misleading and LIES of the entire republican party is obscene, and that they have fully embraced the racist, sexist, biogtry of the trump administration, will be carried with them for a long time, and what they have done to our country

The Democrats questions centered around privacy concerns, and protecting consumers. Republicans seemed concerned that republicans were not being treated fairly by the Google search engine
Nadler and Sheila Jackson were quite focused on the people protections and fairness in their questions

(35,454 posts)In an unusual move, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy kicked off the hearing despite not sitting on the committee by cautioning the tech mogul against letting political bias color its services. The lawmaker, who's been a leading voice among the prominent Republicans accusing top tech firms in Silicon Valley of censoring conservative speech, said he hoped Pichai could reassure the committee that "any political bias within Google's workforce does not creep into its search products.
We need to know that Google is on the side of the free world, and that it will provide its services free of anti-competitive behavior, political bias and censorship," McCarthy said.
McCarthy, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and Trumps 2020 campaign chairman Brad Parscale are among the GOP officials whove complained about a host of perceived Silicon Valley slights against conservatives. They range from Facebooks alleged stripping of ad revenue from the pro-Trump video-blogging duo Diamond and Silk to a Google search result that briefly paired the California GOP with Nazism.
