YouTube removed a House Free­dom Cau­cus-affil­i­at­ed group’s page Mon­day with­out warn­ing.

The pub­lic web­page for House Free­dom Action’s YouTube pro­file sent to a gener­ic page read­ing, “The page isn’t avail­able” as of Mon­day evening.

The page served as a repos­i­to­ry for ads that had been approved to run on tele­vi­sion and, iron­i­cal­ly, YouTube – where the group spent heav­i­ly dur­ing the 2024 elec­tion cycle. The group’s YouTube page is a valu­able tool for the group to pro­mote itself and its mem­bers to donors and the pub­lic.

“This isn’t the first time Marc Elias and the Demo­c­rat slime machine have tried muz­zling and remov­ing House Free­dom Action ads from TV, radio sta­tions, and social media,” HFA’s polit­i­cal direc­tor, Alli­son Weisen­berg­er, told Bre­it­bart. “Dur­ing this fall’s elec­tions, HFA’s ads were so effec­tive and vicious in expos­ing left-wing Demo­c­rat can­di­dates that Elias sent threat­en­ing let­ters to TV sta­tions demand­ing removal of our ads. His cen­sor­ship wasn’t suc­cess­ful.”

The pri­vate pro­file of the page includ­ed a mes­sage read­ing “[y]our chan­nel, House Free­dom Action, wasn’t fol­low­ing our pol­i­cy on Spam, decep­tive prac­tices and scams,” accord­ing to screen­shots first obtained by Bre­it­bart News. “We removed it to pro­tect our com­mu­ni­ty.”

When a pri­vate user clicked the option to begin review­ing the issue, anoth­er mes­sage read, “[w]e’ll help you fig­ure out what went wrong, and how you might be able to resolve it,” accord­ing to anoth­er screen­shot. “First, check out the rea­son we removed your chan­nel. After you’ve had a chance to review, you can decide whether to appeal.”

YouTube, owned by Big Tech giant Google, did not pro­vide more infor­ma­tion oth­er than the vague alle­ga­tion that the group’s videos includ­ed “spam, decep­tive prac­tices and scams.”

“The fact is, every sin­gle word in our ads are true,” Weisen­berg­er told Bre­it­bart. “The truth hurts. YouTube was hap­py to take HFA mon­ey in the fall, but in remov­ing our account from their plat­form, they’ve caved to Elias’ muz­zling cam­paign.”

“Amer­i­ca elect­ed Don­ald Trump. It’s time to stop the mad­ness,” she con­tin­ued. “The left is frus­trat­ed and hys­ter­i­cal. We expect more of this irra­tional behav­ior as Pres­i­dent Trump and the House Free­dom Cau­cus work night and day to take our coun­try back and Make Amer­i­ca Great Again.”

House Free­dom Action is a Super PAC affil­i­at­ed with the House Free­dom Cau­cus, which claims many of the most con­ser­v­a­tive mem­bers of the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives.
