Senator Marco Rubio accuses Gmail of censoring his emails

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) has accused Google of election bias for allegedly censoring his campaign emails. He said that since Rep. Val Demings (D-FL) announced running for Senate in the upcoming midterm elections, about two-thirds of his campaign emails have not reached his registered supporters who use Google’s email service Gmail.

“Marco Rubio for Senate is in @Google purgatory. Since a Pelosi puppet announced she was running against me, they have sent 66% of my emails to REGISTERED SUPPORTERS with @gmail to spam,” Rubio wrote on Twitter. “And during the final weeks of finance quarters, it climbs to over 90%.”

Rubio’s complaint is consistent with a study conducted by the North Carolina State University, which found that Gmail censored significantly more campaign emails by Republican candidates compared to Democratic candidates.
