House Republicans Introduce Legislation to Defund ‘Disinformation Governance Board’

Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson is set to introduce legislation Tuesday to defund the Department of Homeland Security’s new “Disinformation Governance Board,” which will be led by Nina Jankowicz.

The legislation has 50 co-sponsors, the Daily Caller reports. It would completely ban federal funding for the board, something Johnson said the Republicans will do if Joe Biden does not get rid of the board.

“The Biden Administration’s decision to stand up a ‘Ministry of Truth,’ is dystopian in design, almost certainly unconstitutional, and clearly doomed from the start,” Johnson told the Daily Caller before introducing the legislation. “The government has no role whatsoever in determining what constitutes truth or acceptable speech. President Biden should dissolve this board immediately and entirely. If he won’t then Republicans will.”

Sen. Ron Johnson sent a letter on April 27th to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, calling Jankowicz is a “beacon of misinformation online” and saying that she has published multiple tweets “furthering the false media narrative” about the Hunter Biden laptop.

Not only did Jankowicz try to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story, she also in December of 2017 claimed the since discredited Steele dossier was funded by Republicans.
