Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis proclaimed that he “will be fighting back” against Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board – which he initially thought was a “belated April Fool’s joke.”
“They are actually going to create, and the Department of Homeland Security, a bureau of disinformation,” DeSantis said during a press conference on Saturday. “It’s basically a ministry of truth.”
“And what they want to do is they want to be able to put out false narratives without people being able to speak out and fight back,” the Republican governor of Florida said. “They want to be able to say things like Russia collusion, and perpetuate hoaxes, and then have people like us be silenced. They want to be able to advocate for COVID lockdowns. They want to be able to be an advocate for school closures, things that are not supported by the evidence, but then when you speak out, they want to stifle dissent.”
“You cannot have a ministry of truth in this country,” DeSantis continued. “We believe it’s essential that individual Floridians and Americans are able to speak out against the false narratives trying to be jammed down our throats by this regime.”
“And so we reject this bureau in the state of Florida,” DeSantis stated.
The Biden Administration’s creation of a “disinformation” bureau within DHS is effectively a Ministry of Truth that is alien to our constitutional tradition.
