Speaking with Fox News on Sunday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) has admonished Google and Twitter over anti-conservative censorship, saying they "should be reined in" and calling for a new search engine that doesn't censor conservatives.

Last week Google was called out after a search result showed the word "Nazism" under the California Republican Party's ideology - while a search result for North Carolina GOP state senator Trudy Wade included a picture with the word "BIGOT" plastered across the bottom.

Stay classy, Google

Google explained the errors as "vandalism" - and that the search results are automatically populated by third-party sites across the internet.

"We have systems in place that catch vandalism before it impacts search results, but occasionally errors get through, and that's what happened here," Google said in a statement. "This would have been fixed systematically once we processed the removal from Wikipedia, but when we noticed the vandalism we worked quickly to accelerate this process to remove the erroneous information."

Meanwhile, Nunes has long criticized Twitter for censoring the Drudge report.

Twitter historically blocks them from being viewed...Same with @DRUDGE_REPORT https://t.co/LSiWPzG8e0

About two months after the California Republican raised the alarm about Drudge Report "being censored by Twitter," Nunes again nailed the social media platform for putting up a wall separating users from the top right-leaning news aggregator. "I just looked on Twitter," Nunes said on "Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo." "The Drudge Report is being censored today, so for the last three or four days I haven't been able to get on the Drudge Report because it's being censored on Twitter." -Washington Examiner
