Joe Biden Slammed For Creating Disinformation Governance Board

Responding to the creation of the Disinformation Governance Board, several prominent Republican figures likened Biden to some of history's most notorious dictators.

"Adolf Hitler had a Ministry of Truth. Joseph Goebbels had a Ministry of Truth. Joseph Stalin had a Ministry of Truth. Joseph Biden has a Ministry of Truth," Republican congressional candidate Errol Webber said, per Newsweek.

Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York echoed these sentiments.

"The Biden administration just took one more step towards Communism. DHS’ 'Ministry of Truth' is a crackdown on our Constitutional right to Free Speech," she tweeted.

Donald Trump Jr., former President Donald Trump's eldest son, also brought up the fictional department from George Orwell's 1984.

"Historically, was there ever a despotic regime that didn’t have the equivalent of a Ministry Of Truth?" he asked.

Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, meanwhile, stressed that the federal government "has no business creating a Ministry of Truth."

"The Department of Homeland Security's 'Disinformation Board' is unconstitutional and unAmerican, and I'll be introducing a bill to defund it," Cotton said.

Left-wing journalist Glenn Greenwald took to Twitter to slam Biden and other Democrats.

As Greenwald noted, Biden tapped a controversial figure to head the Disinformation Governance Board -- alleged "disinformation expert" Nina Jankowicz.

As a global fellow at the nonpartisan Wilson Center, Jankowicz wrote the 2020 book How to Lose the Information War: Russia, Fake News, and the Future of Conflict.

However, Jankowicz herself has been caught peddling false and misleading information online.

For example, she repeatedly claimed that the documents found on the laptop belonging to Hunter Biden were fabricated and part of a Russian disinformation campaign.

Biden and other Democrats spread the same discredited conspiracy theory during the 2020 election.
