Hey Republicans, we need to talk. On Tuesday, your lame duck Congress dragged Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, in front of one of your endless committees in which you play the victim. Whining about how you are portrayed in the media, and in google searches of all things. In short, you are once again working the refs. Look, I get it, once in a while a ref makes a bad call.

Then, holding up his Apple device, King asked Pichai, «How does that show up on a 7-year-old's iPhone who's playing a kids game?» Now what Google has to do with an iPhone is beyond me, but just a suggestion to Rep. King, if you do not want your seven-year-old granddaughter to see bad things about you, maybe be a less shitty person. Read more
