“PEN America today sharply criticized some Republican members of Congress”

The press release claims that the org sharply criticized but did not provide any evidence that actually occurred. Did they do this via a text message, visit offices or what?



It's right there, in the press release:

>>> Jonathan Friedman, Sy Syms director of PEN America’s U.S. Free Expression programs, said:

“The irony cannot be lost here: government officials have used their positions to muscle out a scholar of authoritarianism from a prestigious lecture," <<<


Did Friedman utter those words to any member of Congress? Was he at a podium in an empty room at midnight?
