So you’re telling me that one of the biggest tech companies on the planet — a company that controls what billions of people see, read, and search every single day — built an AI that thinks half the U.S. Senate is guilty of hate speech? And wouldn’t you know it, every last one of them just happens to have an (R) next to their name.
What a coincidence.
Wynton Hall, Breitbart News social media director and author of the new book Code Red: The Left, the Right, China, and the Race to Control AI, decided to put Google’s Gemini AI through a simple test. He asked it to assess statements made by all 100 sitting U.S. Senators against its own hate speech policies and flag anyone in violation.
The result? Zero Democrats. Not one. Apparently, every single Democrat in the Senate is a linguistic angel — not a problematic syllable among them. But Republicans? Oh, Gemini had a list ready to go like a hall monitor with a grudge.
The Hit List
Among the Republican senators flagged for “hate speech” by Google’s supposedly neutral AI: Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Sen. Tommy Tuberville, Sen. Rick Scott, Sen. Josh Hawley, Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, Sen. Bill Hagerty, and — the man who prompted this story — Sen. Tom Cotton.
Cotton’s alleged crime? Google Gemini claimed he “targeted ‘gay rights’ and diversity initiatives as ‘misplaced priorities’ and cosponsored legislation to exclude transgender students from sports.”
Read that again. Cosponsoring legislation that the majority of American voters support now qualifies as hate speech — at least according to the algorithm gods of Mountain View.
A poll from the Center Square found that most voters nationwide back state bans on transgender athletes competing in girls’ and women’s sports. So by Google’s logic, the majority of Americans are hate-speakers too. Congratulations, folks — you’re all bigots now. Your certificate is in the mail.
Cotton Fires Back
Cotton didn’t mince words in an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, calling Hall’s findings “deeply alarming.”
“The vast majority of Americans agree that girls’ sports should be for girls only—not men. It’s a deeply alarming sign of the liberal bias that still exists in big tech that an AI system would call that ‘hate speech.’”
He’s right. And the scariest part isn’t that one chatbot has a political ax to grind. It’s that this chatbot is built by a company that shapes reality for billions of users worldwide. When Google’s AI decides that mainstream conservative positions are “hate speech,” that’s not a glitch — that’s a worldview baked into the code.
Not a Bug, a Feature
Hall’s book Code Red digs into exactly this problem. AI companies keep promising they’re neutral. They keep swearing they’ve fixed the bias. And every single time someone runs a real test, the same pattern shows up: conservatives flagged, Democrats untouched, and Silicon Valley shrugging like a teenager caught sneaking out at 2 AM.
Sen. Blackburn, who was named one of TIME‘s 100 Most Influential People in AI, called Code Red a “must-read,” adding:
“Few understand our conservative fight against Big Tech as Hall does,” making him “uniquely qualified to examine how we can best utilize AI’s enormous potential, while ensuring it does not exploit kids, creators, and conservatives.”
Investigative journalist and Public founder Michael Shellenberger described the book as “illuminating,” “alarming,” and “an essential conversation-starter for those hoping to subvert Big Tech’s autocratic plans before it’s too late.”
Where This Is Headed
Trump didn’t spend the last decade fighting Big Tech censorship just to let the same crowd launder their bias through a chatbot. The administration already knows what Silicon Valley is doing — dressing up political activism in a lab coat and calling it “artificial intelligence.” Expect congressional hearings. Expect subpoenas. Expect Google executives stammering through explanations about “unintended outputs” while everyone in the room knows exactly what happened.
Because here’s the thing Google still hasn’t figured out: Americans aren’t stupid. They can see when the referee only throws flags in one direction. And they don’t need an algorithm to tell them that protecting girls’ sports isn’t hate — it’s common sense.
