Connecticut Attorney General William Tong has outdone himself with his latest bit of performative outrage.
This week, the man who has spent years weaponizing his office for partisan lawfare—filing more than 60 cases against the Trump administration—decided that Meta’s temporary suspension of the No Kings Instagram account was nothing short of a five-alarm crisis, requiring yet another of his notorious multi-state coalition letters, along with a video documenting his personal outrage.
On October 17, during the No Kings “day of action” protests, Meta’s systems flagged anomalous high-volume activity from a Claude AI tool scraping profiles, posts, and hashtags. It looked like bot traffic. The account went dark for roughly 90 minutes, though full admin access took longer to restore. Meta later apologized, and called it an error.
That apology wasn't good enough for Tong.
He led 14 Democrat attorneys general in demanding answers, timelines, human-review logs, and assurances that “legitimate election-related activity” in support of their color revolution against the Trump administration will never again be interrupted.
Today he posted a Facebook reel all about his role as a concerned guardian of democracy. He expects Meta to do better to "protect us from misinformation and disinformation and to treat all of us fairly... regardless of party affiliation and political perspective...".
This is the same William Tong who, on March 24, 2021, led a coalition of attorneys general in a letter to Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey demanding that Facebook and Twitter immediately and fully enforce their rules against “vaccine misinformation.”
The letter cited the progressive Center for Countering Digital Hate, warned that a handful of “anti-vaxxers” were reaching tens of millions, claimed they were targeting people of color, and insisted the platforms must “root out fraudulent information about coronavirus vaccines” to prevent “needless illness and death.” Tong’s own press statement asserted that the posts were “in flagrant violation” of the companies’ policies, and the platforms must act “or risk prolonging this pandemic.”
That was pressure from the top law enforcement officer of Connecticut to suppress free speech and legitimate concerns about documented adverse effects, all because it challenged the official Biden administration COVID narrative. That wasn’t a temporary glitch. There was no apology—just the full weight of multiple AGs telling Big Tech to deplatform regular people for posting warnings and sharing stories about people injured and/or killed after getting a COVID shot.
But when the communications network for the No Kings activists—a network DataRepublican has documented as part of the United Democracy Alliance’s “blocking” operations alongside Indivisible, 50501, and other activist NGOs in the ongoing color revolution against the Trump admin—experiences a short, automated interruption, Tong immediately positions himself as a free speech champion. He wants Meta to explain itself, protect the organizers’ ability to coordinate on the ground, and treat their traffic as some kind of sacred, protected election activity.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Tong.
No Kings is not a spontaneous gathering of concerned citizens fighting to save democracy. DataRepublican’s releases of recordings, strategy documents, and internal materials from Renew American Democracy (RAD), the Democracy Renewal Group, and related networks of former USAID democracy officers and national security alumni show a coordinated effort to apply color revolution methods domestically to topple the Trump administration. (You can read all of the releases in order here: Primer, 1, 2, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, Interlude, 8, 9, 10, and 11.)
The framework is explicit: Block (lawfare, protests, non-cooperation), Bridge & Belong, and Build. The “illegitimacy playbook” discusses red lines—including election distrust, Insurrection Act invocation, and delayed seating—after which governors might step into a leadership vacuum. No Kings appears in the materials as one of the street-level vehicles in that revolutionary ecosystem. These are the same networks that have spent years organizing and funding mass mobilization groups (for example, George Soros’s Open Society Foundations pouring millions into Indivisible) while contingency planning around the possibility that the Trump administration is illegitimate.
Tong is not protecting abstract “political activity” here. He is protecting the operational communications layer of a movement whose organizers and allies have discussed, in their own words and documents, strategies that go well beyond ordinary campaigning and instead aim to create a self-defined legitimacy crisis that can be leveraged into an extra-constitutional “refounding”—including the development of a new constitution outside the Article V process.
This is the same William Tong who has spent years embedded in the national lawfare network, working closely with figures such as Norm Eisen and the broader circle of Democrat litigators (including those aligned with Marc Elias’s efforts) that treat the courts as a political weapon. When those same tools were aimed at people questioning vaccine policy in 2021, Tong treated social media platform enforcement as a public health imperative. But when the tools are now aimed at coordinating protests and pressure campaigns against the Trump administration, a technical glitch becomes an all-out assault on their democracy.
The pattern is clear. Tong treats the First Amendment as a weapon to be wielded against the other side and a shield for his own. The useful idiots marching with the No Kings signs do not need Tong’s protection to exercise their rights. Though they are receiving the continued use of state power to keep their coordination channels open.
The color revolution infrastructure DataRepublican has documented clearly benefits from having an attorney general who treats temporary technical inconveniences as national emergencies while remaining silent about the far more deliberate efforts he directed against dissenting voices during the COVID plandemic.
