Jim Jordan calls for House Judiciary hearing on 'cancel culture'
Rep.
Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) called on Monday for the House Judiciary Committee to hold a public hearing on "cancel culture," arguing that the committee should investigate what he claimed was a wave of "censorship" occurring in private companies, on college campuses, and other facets of American life.
Jordan, the committee's ranking member, did not give a reason in his letter why the Judiciary Committee, which is tasked with overseeing the federal court system and law enforcement, would have purview over this issue.
The Ohio Republican argued instead in his letter that "cancel culture's long-term consequences to our democracy and our constitutional framework are serious and substantial." He referenced a number of issues including former
President Trump's ban from Twitter in the wake of the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
"The wave of cancel culture spreading the nation is a fundamental threat to free speech rights in the United States," he wrote.
