Senator Rand Paul ditches “worst censors” YouTube, goes all-in on Rumble

US Senator for Kentucky Rand Paul has announced that he’s beginning his exodus from Big Tech and no longer posting to YouTube “unless it is to criticize them or announce that viewers can see my content on rumble.com”

Paul said he made the decision after coming to the realization that his relationship with YouTube is “dysfunctional” because the platform’s “fact-checkers” censor his “fully sourced, fact-based content.”

He added that he’s starting with YouTube because “they’re the worst censors” and noted that YouTube has censored his videos that dispute the effectiveness of cloth masks, even though these cite studies and scientific sources. Paul also pointed to YouTube’s February 2020 censorship of his speech in the Senate which mentioned the name of the Trump impeachment whistleblower Eric Ciaramella.

Paul’s commitment to the free speech video sharing platform Rumble follows him promoting it last year. Since he started posting to Rumble, Paul has already amassed 394,000 subscribers and more than a million total views.
