It’s no secret that Big Tech are against Trump and conservatives. They’ll do anything in their power to try and silence them.
And this major tech company just launched an all out assault on Donald Trump and his campaign.
Google has recently come under fire for allegedly suppressing autocomplete suggestions related to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
Critics argue that by removing these suggestions, Google is making it harder for users to access information about the attempt on Trump’s life.
This, they claim, is yet another instance of election interference by Google.
On Sunday, Breitbart News conducted an experiment with Google’s search bar. Typing in “assassination attempt” yielded autocomplete suggestions such as “truman,” “reagan,” “fidel castro,” “slovakia,” “bob marley,” “lenin,” “gerald ford,” “teddy roosevelt,” “saudi arabia,” “john paul ii,” and “franklin roosevelt.”
However, when typing “assassination attempt trum,” removing only the last letter of Trump’s last name, the suggestions were limited to “truman,” “president truman,” and “harry truman.” Notably, typing “assassination attempt trump” resulted in no autocomplete suggestions at all.
Google needs to be hauled in front of Congress to answer for this.

The context for this scrutiny dates back to an incident during Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. During the rally, Trump was shot in the ear by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was positioned with a rifle on a rooftop less than 500 feet from the former president.
Despite this alarming event, Google is not alone in allegedly downplaying its significance.
Mainstream media outlets like CNN and the Washington Post produced headlines that many found misleading.
These headlines included phrases such as “Trump speech interrupted by Secret Service,” “Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally,” “Trump escorted away after loud noises at Pa. rally,” and “Trump removed from stage after loud noises startles former president, crowd.”
Newsweek added to the confusion with a headline that read, “Donald Trump Might Not Have Been Shot After All,” quoting FBI Director Christopher Wray, who suggested uncertainty about whether Trump was hit by a bullet or shrapnel.
However, as Breitbart News reported, these claims were incorrect. Representative Ronny Jackson (R-TX), a former White House physician, released a memo affirming that Trump was indeed struck by a bullet.
Jackson criticized Wray’s statement, insisting there was no evidence to suggest otherwise.

This incident is not an isolated case of alleged election-related censorship by Google. Last month, Breitbart News reported that a search for a candidate’s name paired with “presidential race 2024” prominently displayed President Joe Biden’s campaign website, while President Trump’s campaign website did not appear on the first page of results.
These actions by Google have raised significant concerns about potential biases and the suppression of critical information.
As the debate continues, many are calling for greater transparency and accountability from the tech giant.
