'DANGER!': Pelosi warns Trump administration heading towards 'thought control' with CDC word ban

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi warned against an attempt at "thought control" by the Trump administration in response to a report that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was told it was forbidden from using seven words in official documents related to the 2019 budget.

"DANGER!", the California Democrat tweeted Saturday in all caps, adding that the administration is "going further down a dangerous and un-American path" by banning such words as "science-based" and "diversity."

Chuckle...

Ol’ “Sloppy Choppers” Pelosi may just be on to something here.

Trump IS controlling their every waking moment and thoughts since last November...

Rent-free, 24-7-and almost 365 so far. The leftist whack-jobs are frothing every day.

Bravo, Mr. President! Keep it up.

In her paradise called California they passed a law that makes it a crime for government employees, health care workers or nursing home workers to refer to someone using a pronoun, like Miss, Mister, or Misses that seems right to you but is not the pronoun the person wants to be used. And Pelosi talks about government “thought control” in the case of the CDC and language rules for them?

Hypocrisy thy name is Democrat.

For the similarly named pro-immigration project, see Fair Immigration Reform Movement.

I wonder how many of these are still valid?

Just because he calls for the suppression of half a dozen propaganda terms the liberals have been using to try and slant news coverage does not mean that he is engaging in mind control. The left has been using these terms for some time now to taint news stories. It is time for it to stop.

Is it more incredible that she would say that, or that the men in the little white coats haven’t taken her away yet?

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
****************************************
Seems that those banned words have no relation to disease control and prevention.

This admin. should tell them to stick to their charter regarding control & prevention of diseases or quit/be fired.

Yep - they hate that some would insist on using language that actually describes reality instead of language that “nuances’ thing - and consider plain speak to be “thought control”...can’t make this crap up.

Nothing drives liberal crazy like using their methods against them.

I can think of something that would take the high road of Freedom AND drive liberals crazy: Ban the banning of words. Joining in these games a far from being the right thing to do.
