joining me now is the american spectator jeffrey lord. conditioning our defending the first segment. jeffrey, i thought that was a great exchange he said he is concerned. because silicon valsevery left. and said it is a left of center accomplice. and that is just what it is. and so heed we are concerned about protecting and aluing all voices on the facebook forum. but did not have a good answer to cruz who you met his match with ted cruz about the voices that are having trouble being heard. what was your reaction to be that exchange? well, this is what concerns me. i mean someone else on that manual asked him whether or not he could discuss the political leanings of his employees and said, well, he does not check them. point is he doesn t have to he
