Top Republicans Turner, Katko say ‘disinformation’ board pause ‘best decision’ by Biden admin – By Kelly Laco (FOX News) / May 18, 2022
The Biden admin’s ‘disinformation’ board was halted amid free speech concerns
Top House Republicans are weighing in on reports that the Biden administration’s “Disinformation Governance Board” is being suspended after heavy criticism over free speech concerns, saying it’s the “best decision” by the Biden administration due to its clearly political purpose.
Sources told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the disinformation board was being put on hold and director Nina Jankowicz will resign.
“The suspension of the DHS Disinformation Governance Board is by far the best decision that’s been made when it comes to this Orwellian entity. From its initially botched rollout, the ‘Ministry of Truth’ lacked a defined mission or even direction. It was clear it was a political tool to be wielded by the party in control,” Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, and Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, told Fox News Digital in a joint statement.
