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.

Sounds like she doesn’t understand the republicrat leadership is in lockstep with the demonrats plan to tear this country down
You go girl—once again she shows she has bigger nads than most of the men in the GOP right now.
DGB = KGB
I am glad to see someone is trying to do something out there. This needs to be a prominent issue in the next two elections. Pin down all candidates on their commitment to freedom of thought and speech, and keep their feet to the fire if they are elected.
After she gets this deal done I want her to personally kick Kevin’s ass.
In the strictly professional sense, mind you. Anything more personal would be optional.
The latter.
The second this “Board” tries to shut down anything, lawsuits should come flying in.
I guarantee the preliminary work for lawsuits are already being composed.
She knows it won’t pass but there’s more to it than just grandstanding.
She’s giving everyone an opportunity to get on record.
Why not defund DHS entirely? Nothing but a bunch of parasites anyway!
Every republican should be screaming their lungs out about this direct assault,on the first amendment. Since when did it become illegal to say things that aren’t true? And who gets to decide what is true and not true? Liars who lie?
This is a,huge step towards our nation becoming north Korea or China or Russia even. This can’t be allowed to stand! We ,one our sovereignty if it is. Every single republican governor should declare that they will not allow this happen In their states!
I can’t beleive this is even an issue that has to be fougth agaisnt in the US. The fsct that it is proves just how much the left hate everything our nation stands for, and how advanced they are in their hostile takeover of this country. They are going ful. Out assault,on everything our nation reveres. They don’t even try to hide it anymore. This is pure communism in action on their part
Politico said her and MTG are feuding. Is this true?
“You go girl—once again she shows she has bigger nads than most of the men in the GOP right now”.
I’m proud to have her represent me in Congress. She’s probably the most hated conservative in Congress and that is very telling.
You go girl—once again she shows she has bigger nads than most of the men in the GOP right now.

Yup!
Before they shut down the board, maybe they should determine who is not telling the absolute truth, the board, the media, or the federal and state governments. The truth is out there, but few ever see it. So by picking one and blaming it for misinformation, partial or complete, it frees up everyone else to push their agenda. Trump was not elected in 2020 this way by false information (lies). No different and it slows taking control of the borders, again. Keep your hands ands arms inside the car while passing through border control.

Since Mike Wallace baked his cake and cooked an election, there has been a full court press underway for a single voice in America. I am sure that this is directed by China, where this is already the standard.
You can count the opposition to this in government on one hand.
Now that’s what I’m talking about!
Wasn’t it formed under the Patriot Act?
““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.””
And what has been the response of our linguini spined “leaders”?
