Rep. Boebert Celebrates Victory for Free Speech: Disinformation Board Permanently Canceled

This week, the Department of Homeland Security announced that the Disinformation Governance Board has been permanently canceled.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “This is a big win for free speech. The Disinformation Governance Board—aka the Ministry of Truth—has been permanently canceled. Instead of treating Orwell’s book 1984 as a warning, the Left tried to use it as an outline for their agenda. Thankfully, we the people spoke up and 76 of their elected representatives joined in my successful effort to save free speech.”

Background:

In May, Congresswoman Boebert introduced the Protecting Free Speech Act to terminate the Disinformation Governance Board with the support of 76 co-sponsors.

Additionally, Congresswoman Boebert led a press conference with Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Minority Whip Steve Scalise, Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan, GOP Conference Vice-Chair Mike Johnson, Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus Scott Perry, and Rep. August Pfluger supporting her bill to terminate the Department of Homeland Security's new Disinformation Governance Board.

Later in May, Congresswoman Boebert scored her first victory when “Truth Czar” Nina Jankowicz resigned and the Biden regime paused the creation of the board.
