ronna romney mcdaniel says her account was affected.ld me earlier. >> vice news article, twitter with many republicans when you would search their name, for example, you would put in rona mcdaniel it would not populate with my twitter account. that would happen across the board. that is called shadow banning. prevent followers and prevent people from finding my page. it only happened to republicans those. it didn't happen to my counterpart at dnc. this feeds into our concern. the rnc sent a letter two months ago to twitter asking us to talk about these practices. we're very concerned about their transparency. we see it play out, the only time they came forward with the president calling them out in this article and the article calling them out. they said they would remedy it. why are they suppressing conservative voices? cheryl: why are they? investors took notice. pressure on the stock. you don't want president trump to come after you if you're a publicly-traded company, especially twitter, his favorite means of communication. jack dor

rnc chair woman ronna mcdaniel. it keeps happening is. any official republican response to this? >> we're asking for democrat leaders to denounce this again and again. we're continuing to see these groups form around republican members of congress or cabinet members at their homes, restaurants, this is not the new norm. i don't these group will listen to me but i am going to say to democrat leaders, you need to be vocal and do it over and over again, denounce these crowds or these mobs who are confronting republicans in their homes and in their restaurants when they're having private time with their families, this is not okay. it's going to take schumer, pelosi and other democrats to step up and call it out. >> neil: i'm wondering, one of the people protesting with mitch mcconnell said "we know where you live." he was there. i'm worried how easy this would be to escalate and what can be done to deescalate? >> we've seen the extreme with the shooting of steve scalise. we've seen the most egregious form of political discord can come when yo

essentially what happened, if somebody went to search for ronna romney mcdaniel a group of others, number name in search bar it couldn't -- wouldn't come up as you would with other people accusing them of discriminating against conservatives. what action can you take here? >> one of the things you can do is what congressman nunez is suggesting we should do, hold hearings to see if they're in violation of federal election commission rules. look, twitter has more power to effect the public conversation than somebody with a 30 million-dollar advertising campaign. when you see now twitter has been caught not once, but twice, with the shadow banning act, the first time employees bragging how they were doing it to ban conservatives, and now, not just one or two members of congress, it is jim jordan, it is mark meadows, it is nunez, it is matt gaetz, what do they have in common? they are critics of twitter. twitter says it just happens. there comes a point come on, this is censorship. you have to make a national issue about it. you have to ask the question, are they violating campaign laws? conn

they say if you're a conservative like jim jordan or ronna mcdaniel their name doesn't populate in therch. >> this is grievance policy. no shortage of conservative -- i'm going to say, if it was the case that they were saying we're blocking some conservative leader i would say that's terrible. what this is, as you describe, a dropdown bar and algorithm. >> sandra: it is social media picking and choosing who you have access to. >> bill: -- >> if you were saying to me i don't like these conservatives. that's not what happened. >> the terminology is confusing. shadow banning is the idea when you post something in a public forum you are the only one who can see it. somehow they have manipulated the algorithm. it is not exactly what happened with twitter. it is a problem with terminology. it has been appropriated to mean you don't show up. i agree with you, juan. the other thing is there have been far left folks that have also not popped up in the search bar. it seems to me that twitter's algorithm picks up people who are controversial. i'm not saying it's right. twitter has a problem again

and the fact that ronna romney mcdaniel had this problem, that seems to be counterintuitive to what theyg to do. these social media companies are trying to be good citizens and encourage a good debate and good conversation. they are trying to prevent themselves from being manipulated or being used as organizing tools by hate groups or by foreign governments. but at the same time they want to be platforms for free speech. they are seeing it as a challenge to do all of those things. i applaud the effort for civil discourse, but they have shown that they still have some work to do to figure out how to do it right. >> next issue, election security. we expect a meeting tomorrow at the white house, take a listen to this exchange. >> we have to make sure that we have the right kind of information sharing with secretary estates and with anybody else that could be a cyber from russia. >> they are more concerned about covering up president trump's activities then defending our democracy from an attack. >> mike: so here we are three plus months away from the final election. how alarmed should we be
