Jim Jordan queries Microsoft about what he calls bias against conservatives

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Champaign County Republican Rep. Jim Jordan has a gripe with Microsoft.

The top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee on Monday sent a letter to the company’s president, Brad Smith, to express his view that the tech behemoth is biased against conservatives and is being protected from antitrust scrutiny by Democrats who currently control Congress.

“Big Tech, including Microsoft, Inc., is out to get conservatives,” Jordan’s letter began. “Despite Microsoft’s size and market dominance, House Democrats curiously did not significantly examine Microsoft’s conduct during their investigation of competition in digital markets. Democrats also seem to have excluded Microsoft from scrutiny in their large package of bills to radically rewrite American antitrust law.”
