"I'm tired that we all have to stress about the explosion of hate speech that is going on because some billionaire with self-esteem issues is unilaterally controlling a massive communication platform and disturbing it because Tucker Carlson (American conservative TV anchorman and politics announcer) or Peter Thiel (American businessman and one of the main financial supporters of Donald Trump's political campaign) took him to dinner and made him feel special," wrote the congresswoman.
