Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday announced the closure of the Global Engagement Center as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to shutter the “censorship-industrial complex.”
“Today, it is my pleasure to announce the State Department is taking a crucial step toward keeping the president’s promise to liberate American speech by abolishing forever the body formerly known as the Global Engagement Center (GEC),” Rubio wrote in an op-ed for the Federalist, titled, “Rubio: To Protect Free Speech, The Censorship Industrial Complex Must Be Dismantled.”
Rubio wrote that, in 2016, the Obama administration changed the GEC’s focus on combatting international terrorism cover any and all “foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts.”

The USA has had a State Department that responded to NOBODY in DC for almost my entire life. I am 77. Such a breath of Fresh Air.
The Truth actually has a place again.
God Bless President Trump, God Bless Secretary of State Marco Rubio, God Bless the USA.
Continue to PURGE DC and bring back Sanity to our nation.
Excellent!

I agree! God bless America!
All absolutely correct.
What a den of snakes in DC.
And the Deep State is backstabbing and squirming at every step to Drain the Swamp.
YES! Ditto
Thank you Liz.
I’m also amazed. A very pleasant surprise.
Department of Lies For Our Good: CIA.
Better off with bad.
The GEC is now “MBSE”- Money Better Spent Elsewhere
Yes. Absolutely
Yes. That one is almost as bad as the State Department. (possibly worse)
I have to say that Marco has been a pleasant surprise. I underestimated him, apparently.
Thank you sir.
Many here long ago understood what an evil place the Department of State had become. This is the only time in my life (77), that we actually have had an opportunity to cleans that smelly place.
CIA may be a harder task. There were 2 real assassination attempts at President Trump. I don’t know who was actually behind that. I am sure that in the background that puzzle is being traced.
Did he kick the high brass out on their asses on a rainy day? Huh? Huh? Did he?

Marco Rubio Shutters ‘Disinformation’ Agency at State Department
Excellent!
I think he should have kept it open and announced a bunch of right wingers to run it and watch the left melt down.
Every federal dept and org is infested with snakes. Gonna take some time to ferret them all out.
Global Engagement Center?
The agency was 100% America last Communist bull s**t.
Go Trump!
