FLORIDA: "In Williston Friday, Governor Ron DeSantis took aim at the Joe Biden administration’s effort to have the Department of Homeland Security educate the public about disinformation, arguing the new “Disinformation Governance Board” is akin to George Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth.” DeSantis said the effort really amounts to a war against conservative dissent against a “decaying and discredited ruling elite in this country.”
“You cannot have a Ministry of Truth in this country,” DeSantis said. “We’re not going to let Biden get away with this one. We will be fighting back.” The Governor referred to the proposed bureau as a “belated April Fool’s Joke,” but one with a malign intent: to “stifle dissent.”
“What they want to do is they want to be able to put out false narratives without people being able to speak out and fight back,” DeSantis said. “They want to be able to say things like ‘Russian collusion’ and perpetuate hoaxes and have people like us be silenced.”
The Governor called attention to the appointed leader of the agency, Wilson Center disinformation fellow Nina Jankowicz, as an “advocate for COVID lockdowns who herself has put out disinformation about the Hunter Biden tapes, who supported Russian collusion conspiracy theories.”
“This is not acceptable, and in Florida we’re not going to have it,” DeSantis said, going on to add that the “public is sick of this.”
