Boebert Secures Major Victory for Free Speech, Unconstitutional Disinformation Board on Life Support and Nina Jankowicz Out of a Job | 2022-05-18 | 2022 | 2022-05 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Today, Truth Czar Nina Jankowicz resigned, and the Biden regime announced the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS’s) new Disinformation Governance Board was placed on “pause” following severe pushback from Republicans in Congress led by Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert said, “Today is a great day for free speech. The Disinformation Governance Board is effectively dead and Scary Poppins is out of work and will no longer be able to censor conservatives as the Biden regime’s Minister of Truth. While we were successful in defending free speech from this attack, the fight is not over. The Biden regime has been unrelenting in its assault on the First Amendment. This is America not China. I will continue to fight to ensure the people are not silenced by Biden bureaucrats and Big Tech.” Background: Today, in response to criticism from Republicans Congress led by Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, Disinformation Czar Nina Jankowicz resigned and DHS’s new Disinformation Governance Board was placed on “pause”. Last week, Congresswoman Boebert led a press conference with Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Minority Whip Steve Scalise, Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus Scott Perry, GOP Conference Vice-Chair Mike Johnson, and Rep. August Pfluger supporting her bill, the Protecting Free Speech Act, which would terminate the DHS's Disinformation Board and prevent any similar boards from being created in the future.
