A Confession: I Did, Indeed, Mock and Attack Nina Jankowicz and the DHS
NRO ^ | 18 May2022 | Charles C W Cooke

Posted on 05/20/2022 5:56:13 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Taylor Lorenz’s piece on the apparent demise of the Department of Homeland Security’s “disinformation board” prompts me to make a confession. Like many others, I did, indeed, “attack” the Department of Homeland Security, its stupid misinformation board, and its ridiculous nominee, Nina Jankowicz. I mocked it, and her, and I did so without compunction. I suggested that the DHS’s name was a bit “Russian.” I called its proposal a “Ministry of Truth.” And Jankowicz did, as charged, become “a primary target” of my words — which, if I recall correctly, included the claims that she was an “an extremely strange woman,” that “while she is certainly interested in disinformation, her passion is dressing up as Liza Minnelli,” that she had offered up “that pornographic twist on the Harry Potter books for which we’ve all been clamoring,” and that her online canon was “enough to test even the most committed civil libertarian in his opposition to casual waterboarding.” I also suggested that, while at work, she and her colleagues should at least be subject to “24/7 surveillance and closely monitored ankle bracelets.”

Lorenz proposes that the aim Jankowicz’s critics had in mind was “discrediting and attacking” her and her bosses. This is true of me, certainly. She says that those who wrote about her “began mining Jankowicz’s past social media posts and publishing articles to generate controversy.” I did. She says that if the DHS tries to set up a similar board in the future, the next Jankowicz will be critiqued in the same way. This is true — and you can bet on it staying true going forward. The mockery will continue until the government cuts it out.

Mocking these evil people and their dastardly intentions is good

Cooke has no influence, despite this sorry attempt to take credit for something. He’s a shill for the NRO neocon crowd.

She says she left because of death threats.

I’m willing to bet there were no death threats.

The irony would not escape me.

What a brilliant idea!

I would propose that we expand it to all government bureaucrats and elected officials.

They certainly need watching.

It is not possible to mock and ridicule too much the DHS, its secretary, its misinformation board (aka "Ministry of Truth") and the leftwing fruitcake nominee who would have been in charge of her fellow apparatchiks.
