EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., has authored legislation to shut down a new Department of Homeland Security board designed to police misinformation.
Boebert’s legislation would defund the “Disinformation Governance Board” and ensure the federal government doesn’t have role in defining what truth is for the American people
“This kind of stuff is terrifying. We in Congress have the power of the purse. It is our duty to shut down this department immediately,” Boebert told Fox News Digital Friday in an interview. “I’m calling on leadership in the Republican Party — Leader [Kevin] McCarthy, Whip [Steve] Scalise and others — to join me in calling for this department to be shut down and defunded.”
Boebert tweeted that this was the hill to die on.
...... Snip......
“No tax dollars should go to where Biden can use the power of the federal government to silence truthful stories like Big Tech did with the Hunter Biden story,” Boebert said.
Boebert compared the effort to government surveillance from George Orwell’s “1984” novel. “Democrats took that [book] not as a warning, but as a guide,” she said.
Every Republican in Congress should be standing on their chair screaming about what is taking place due to this stolen election. Any hesitation is a lack of understanding world history.

There are 3 problems with conservative women. One, they are awesome, fearless fighters. Two, they are all hot to distraction. Three, they are all married
Love her! She is a fighter.
In the future when you post from GP, could you please leave off the #disqus_thread from the URL? Thanks.
Any little spitfire that owns a restaurant with waitresses carrying loaded firearms on their hips while working has more balls than our ENTIRE House of Representatives compare her to McConnell and laugh your ass off!!
I haven’t seen any response from them, yet!
Well? At least there is one sane adult in DC!!!’
Hard to disagree, they seem entirely useless. The FBI, CIA, NSA, DEA, HUD, DoE and ATF, are more than welcome to join them.
Nice rig.
Unless this DGB is run by the author of truth, Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, how likely is it that truth would prevail? Considering who they have put up as the “purveyor of truth” it is already off to a rocky start. Better to just forget this lest we get any further behind in the battle for truth.
It was.
“Or is this just grandstanding knowing it won’t pass? “
I’m surprised you had to ask the question.
If it had any REAL chance of passage, she would not be entrusted as author.
It's sort of a last chance for those two - if they can't oppose the Ministry of Truth then they are completely on the collectivist team and are worthy of no further support or attention.
If the government is so concerned about the truth, it should start telling it more often. It should not be sifting through information and suppressing what it doesn’t like. “Congress shall make no law...” , but the government dodges that by letting the media and big tech do its dirty work, and now it has an unelected bureaucrat.
Simple solution. Make the “Disinformation Governance Board” go thru Musk’s Twitter to determine whether what the board says is disinformation.
