(Presidentialwire.com)- Two Republican senators are alleging that the Biden administration redacted key information about the Department of Homeland Security’s “Disinformation Board,” according to Newsmax. In June, Sens. Chuck Grassley and Josh Hawley reportedly requested the DHS to supply them with information on the board and its relationships with social media platforms.
But in a letter sent by the senators to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, they said that the redactions are “applied to pre-decisional and deliberative process material.” The letter continued to state that Congress is an equal branch of government.
The senators said that they will renew their requests to the department and its attempts to counter disinformation, suggesting that it is still impossible to know the extent of their efforts.
The letter came months after the agency dissolved the “Disinformation Governance Board” when it faced public backlash. In response to the dissolution, the Homeland Security Advisory Council eventually stated that the DHS will continue to address threats that “undermine the security of our country consistent with the law while upholding” privacy…and “promoting transparency.”
The board was to be headed by executive director Nina Jankowicz, whose tweets and social media posts were found to be politically biased, according to American Pigeon.
Jankowicz called the Hunter Biden laptop story Russian disinformation, although it has now been corroborated by mainstream outlets. In another tweet, she called the “free speech vs censorship framing a false dichotomy” and proceeded to criticize former President Trump for not disavowing “disinformation and conspiracy theories.”
She also said that free speech was only for those who are “white and male.”
This is an actual tweet from Jankowicz, the executive director of the administration's new "Disinformation Governance Board" to combat "misinformation."

Conservatives claimed that the disinformation board resembled the fictional Orwellian “Ministry of Truth” because the board served to erase the truth, falsify history, and create Party hegemony,” which is “the strategy of the Democratic Party and their global accomplices,” according to American Pigeon.

The new government propaganda institution that the Biden regime attempted install but failed to was as insidiously disturbing as it was also sinister.
This politically correct pro- socialist Islam promoting propaganda machine to a hideous step towards government fed limited information and false information for gradual, attempted, mind control of America’s citizens.
Deceptively and ironically called “The Disinformation Governance Board” This of tyranny mind control danger was foreseen by the novelist George Orwell in his book entitled “1984” in the story “Ministry of Truth ” which was set up by a tyrannical regime.

That failed monstrously of an institution of the Biden regime wanted to install had the title of “Disinformation Governance Board.” is obviously nothing but a politically correct leftist propaganda machine.
As of the kind found in the George Orwell Novel “1984” in which that tyrannical oppressing regime had it lying “Ministry of Truth.”
This Biden D.G.B. government organization can and may, rightly, be viewed as a terrible omen of the insidious leftist/Marxist, Red -Green Alliance movement of political gradualism. In which slowly more and more PC thought control by the D.G.B. and other branches of Marxist/Islamic infiltrated branches will act to further chip away it the freedom of speech and then even freedom of thought granted by the American citizen’s by the US Constitution.
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.. I as a free American Citizen demand my RIGHT to FREE THINK and FREE SPEACH. NOONE is given the ability to render MY thoughts disinformation.

Hiding your work from your boss? Does DHS work for Congress that manages it; or does it work for the American people? The immediate cure is to fire/impeach any officer who thinks he does not answer to the people who pay his/her salary.
