It seems hardly a day goes by without some new and unsettling revelation about the recent, unlamented administration of “Autopen Joe” Biden. We can suppose that this is what happens when the guy who is supposedly in charge has long since descended into senility, and minor-level staffers are actually running the show, and the autopen.
The latest is something we knew was going on, but Republican Representative Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) has blown this story wide open, with details about how he was surveilled as part of the “Quiet Skies” program.
Rep. Abe Hamadeh, R-Ariz., revealed to Fox News Digital that he is one of three Republicans in Congress who was surveilled by the Biden administration’s “Quiet Skies” program, a program that has been shut down due to overreach concerns.
Earlier this week, Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chair Rand Paul, R-Ky., convened a hearing examining alleged Biden administration abuse of the program, which was terminated by DHS in June, and revealed that three current Republican members of Congress were surveilled or monitored either as a sitting member or while seeking elected office.
GOP Rep. Abe Hamadeh tells Fox News Digital he was informed that he was one of those members of Congress and was surveilled in December 2022.
“It sadly doesn’t surprise me,” Hamadeh explained. “At the time, if you remember, I mean banks were shutting down accounts if they promoted conservative viewpoints, if they were selling ammo or guns and the banks were being pressured by the Biden administration. You had social media companies censoring political voices that they didn’t agree with. So it shows you the depths that the federal government, how much sway they have, not just within the bureaucracy of the government, but also with private organizations and private actors as well.“
We might note also that Rep. Hamadeh is a former United States Air Force reservist, an intelligence officer with a Top Secret clearance, who has been deployed in his official capacity. We might also note that the current Trump administration Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was also briefly on the “Quiet Skies” list.
