Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., on Monday blasted DirecTV's decision to take Newsmax off its platform as an attempt to "silence the opposition party."
In an interview on Newsmax's "Wake Up America," Rosendale said the action smacked of censorship.
"This is another technique that Big Tech, big corporations are using to silence the opposition party," Rosendale asserted. "They don't want to have free speech taking place."
Rosendale praised Newsmax for offering a conservative prospective in the national conversation.

"Fortunately, Newsmax is one of the only outlets … to get the message out to people across [the country] from those fighting for them," he said. "And so I appreciate the fact that Newsmax helps us get that message out."
The television provider dropped Newsmax late last month — sparking widespread condemnation from conservative lawmakers and an enraged public audience.
