Donald Trump Condemns ‘HORRIBLE’ DHS Disinformation Governance Board

Former President Donald Trump condemned the Biden administration’s Disinformation Governance Board in an interview with CBN News. Trump scorned the government board and its similarities to Soviet Russia.

Trump, as a battle-scarred veteran of the war on free speech, warned that President Joe Biden’s new Disinformation Governance Board (DBG) may doom America. “I think that uh— It’s not even believable that we’re talking about this subject, if you want to know the truth,” Trump told CBN News in an interview published on Wednesday. “Who would have believed that we’re talking about somebody who’s gonna censor people over a period of—over a long period of time—and very strong?”  

Trump mocked even the power brokers for their totalitarianism. “Now they’re saying, ‘Oh, no, it’s just a recommendation,’ quipped Trump. “That’s where it all began. I guess that’s what they used to say in Russia. That’s what they said in the Soviet Union, right? ‘We’re just going to do a little bit’ — uh, no, we can’t do that. We can’t do that. That’s a horrible thing.”
 

On the other hand, Trump quipped that he has his own “Ministry of Truth” in that the actual “Truth” can be found on “Truth Social,” Trump’s new social media app.

The Hill reported that “legislation in both the House and Senate was introduced by Republicans that would seek to block the board amid allegations that it would ‘silence dissent’ and curb free speech.” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is co-sponsoring the Senate bill. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), who is reportedly “sponsoring a similar bill in the House,” condemnedDGB. “The Mayorkas DHS is supposed to house the Ministry of Truth, yet, Mayorkas can’t even answer if the Steele Dossier would be considered misinformation,” she tweeted May 1. 

She warned in a press release posted on the congressional website:

“The Department of Homeland Security should not be in the business of censoring free speech on Twitter and Facebook. Following in the steps of Mao and Stalin, Biden’s unconstitutional, dystopian ‘Department of Propaganda’ is trampling on the First Amendment and trying to control what people can and can’t say.”

In the press release, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) skewered the left in a statement for corrupting institutions to the point where they can purge anything that contradicts the left’s ideology: “[T]The truth of the matter will either be called a lie, or subversive.  Two years of COVID lies has shown this.  This was evident with Hunter Biden’s laptop lies. We saw this with the Russia collusion hoax.” He then hammered his point home: “We used to live in a free society where differing opinions were allowed. This latest effort is to stop all dissent.”
