Zuckerberg Explains Facebook Blacklisting Trump: He wanted to ‘Undermine’ the Transition of Power
In recent Facebook insider footage leaked by Project Veritas, company CEO Mark Zuckerberg justifies the blacklisting of former President Donald Trump, claiming that he wanted to “undermine” the transition of power.
Project Veritas recently revealed that the group has obtained hours of insider footage from Facebook meetings featuring top company executives, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg. During one of these meetings, Zuckerberg explained that a large reason for blacklisting former President Trump from the platform was due to fears that he wanted to “undermine” the transition of power.

Zuckerberg discussed the former President and the Capitol Protests, stating: “It’s so important that our political leaders lead by example, make sure we put the nation first here, and what we’ve seen is that the president [Trump] has been doing the opposite of that…The president [Trump] intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power.”
Zuckerberg added: “His [Trump’s] decision to use his platform to condone rather than condemn the actions of his supporters in the Capitol I think has rightly bothered and disturbed people in the US and around the world.”
Zuckerberg further insinuated that Capitol protesters were treated better than Black Lives Matter protesters: “I know this is just a very difficult moment for a lot of us here, and especially our black colleagues. It was troubling to see how people in this [Capitol] mob were treated compared to the stark contrast we saw during protests earlier this [past] year,” he said.

Project Veritas Video Shows Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg Downplaying Left-Wing Violence
Leaked video obtained by Project Veritas shows the founder and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, claiming that left-wing rioters who burned down multiple quarters of American cities last summer were somehow treated less leniently than the Capitol Hill rioters of January 6.
“I know this is just a very difficult moment for a lot of us here [at Facebook], and especially our black colleagues,” Zuckerberg can be heard telling employees.
“It was troubling to see how people in this [Capitol] mob were treated compared to the stark contrast we saw during protests earlier this year.” The summer riots exacted a gruesome death toll, with estimates ranging from a dozen to thirty.
In Seattle, far-left anarchists and Black Lives Matter supporters established the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ)” a lawless state-within-a-state.
Unlike DC’s hours-long capitol riot, which the government saw fit to respond to with the deployment of 20,000 national guardsmen to the area, officials allowed the lawless CHAZ to exist for nearly a month.
As a result, a 16-year-old lost his life -— reportedly murdered by CHAZ’s homemade “security forces.”
For half a year, mask-clad Antifa and Black Lives Matter activists terrorized ordinary American citizens, confronting them in public locations, in restaurants, and at their homes in suburban neighborhoods.
The summer riots were also the costliest in U.S. history. Not counting uninsured businesses, the riots caused nearly $2 billion in damage to property across the country. In St. Paul alone, over 170 businesses were looted or destroyed.
And the violence continues — even Portland’s left-wing mayor, Ted Wheeler, is now asking for federal assistance against Antifa. Shortly after he made the request, the Democrat mayor was assaulted by Antifa in a restaurant.
Mark Zuckerberg’s comments in the Project Veritas video indicate that he believes the January 6 riot, an isolated incident, was treated with leniency when compared to the endemic violence perpetrated by Antifa and Black Lives Matter supporters since the summer, which includes assaults on elected officials, a month-long occupation of Seattle’s capitol district, and multiple murders.
The Facebook CEO’s attitude may explain why a 20,000-follower page for Portland’s Rose City Antifa — arguably the most violent Antifa group in the country — remains active on the platform, despite Facebook’s alleged zero-tolerance policy for violent extremist groups.

Hawley: Dems Want Big Corporations Acting as ‘the Hand of the Government’
During Sunday’s “Life, Liberty & Levin” on Fox News Channel, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) warned of big corporations acting as “the hand of the government.”
According to Hawley, Democrats are cheering on big tech companies and big corporations to use their “unprecedented concentration of power” to impose their viewpoints on the American public.
“What we have is an unprecedented concentration of power by these corporate monopolies working in league with the left,” Hawley told host Mark Levin. “I call them the woke capitalists. You know, they are only interested in capitalism in so far as they can control it and use it to impose their viewpoints on the American public. You know, our founders, they were against monopolies. They really hated monopolies. They were very wary of monopolies, and rightfully so because when you concentrate power in a few hands, bad things always happen. And that’s what’s happening now, Mark.”
“You’ve got these big tech companies who effectively control more and more speech in America,” he continued. “We have seen how they want to use that. They want to shut down conservatives, they want to shut down libertarians, they want to take down competitors like Parler, they want to tell you what you can and cannot say. And it’s not just the tech companies. It’s also the corporate monopolies in other areas.”
Hawley went on to say this is something that has not been seen in America before.
“We’re dealing with a party now that loves the idea of concentrated power, that loves the idea of power gathered into a few hands. I mean … they are the party of the powerful. I mean, there is no doubt about it. They are a party of biggest monopoly corporations, they’re the party of big tech, they are a party of Hollywood, of course — and have been for years,” he advised.
“The Democrats, they love what tech is doing,” Hawley added. “When … tech destroyed Parler, destroyed a competitor, you talk about an antitrust violation, the Democrats cheered them on. They thought that was wonderful. When tech is out there censoring conservatives, kicking them off the platform, they thought that was wonderful. They want them to do more. What they basically want to do is use these corporations as the hand of government.”
