Nina Jankowicz, the author and researcher appointed to lead the Department of Homeland Security's new Disinformation Governance Board, resigned from the DHS on Wednesday, representatives for Jankowicz told Insider. The decision follows weeks of targeted harassment against Jankowicz from right-wing critics, as well as broad conservative criticism of the anti-misinformation initiative.
"With the Board's work paused and its future uncertain, and [sic] I have decided to leave DHS to return to my work in the public sphere," Jankowicz said in a statement emailed to Insider via a spokesperson. "It is deeply disappointing that mischaracterizations of the Board became a distraction from the Department's vital work."
Jankowicz's departure comes after The Washington Post first reported on Wednesday that the DHS had paused the Board's activities and suspended working groups centered around dis-, mis-, and mal-information amid the criticism.
The Board will remain on pause as the Homeland Security Advisory Council conducts a "thorough review and assessment" related to improving the Board's transparency, public trust, and ability to fight disinformation, the DHS said in a statement to Insider.

Well that was quick!
Good bye and gtfo. Another example of libs are weaponizing government.
“The decision follows weeks of targeted harassment against Jankowicz from right-wing critics”
Really hoping that part is true.
Evil doesn’t like the light.
correction:
Nina Jankowicz resigns from the DHS after Leftist Anti-Constitution Disinformation Governance Board is put on ‘pause’ following right-wing backlash
Right wing backlash, my arse!
She’s hiding something so bad that even the Klain-Rice Cabal couldn’t risk being dragged down with her. The facts are yet to come out.
Nina “Weird Al” Jankowicz? Gone already? Darn!
it will be back
stealthier
Don’t let them get by with saying OK she was a nut, here’s a new person. The whole idea of this disinformation board is evil, foul, and anti-American and cannot be allowed no matter who is put in charge of it.
Make Biden eat it.
exactly, it is not her, it is this leftist power grab.
Now she will have more time to make Mary Poppins videos .
Damn, now Americans will find that the Nazis in Ukraine (including their military) are getting their rear-ends handed to them.
Couldn’t she hold on a bit longer, to keep the Facade up?
Now she can go to Disneyland and become a cast member.
That's a complete lie. The Left wanted her gone because it was too obvious that she's a whackjob and completely unprofessional, but also because it's too early for them to try to implement a Communist Ministry of Information.
She didn’t really resign. That’s disinformation. She shouldn’t be mocked for her expertise. She has more experience than just about anyone else on disinformation.
Seems she lasted no longer than A. Scaramucci in POTUS Trump
administration.
Brandon attempts to circumvent our Constitution.
Ridicule, perhaps, but harassment? strong doubts. I bet no one called her on her phone repeatedly to cuss her out and “right wingers” would not be making threats to her kids and killing her cat. We don’t do harassment a lot. I’s impolite and a waste of time.
Now they name the “intelligence veteran” they wanted for the job in the first place, without a peep of protest from the GOP because the scary female hobgoblin is out of the way. Same tactic they always use.
