20 AGs Demand Biden Disband ‘Orwellian’ Disinformation Governance Board, Threaten Legal Action
5/9/22
In a letter last week to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, 20 state attorneys general demanded DHS immediately disband its Disinformation Governance Board and “cease all efforts to police Americans’ protected speech.”
Attorneys general (AGs) in 20 states last week threatened legal action unless the Biden administration immediately disbands its newly formed Disinformation Governance Board, which the group described as “Orwellian.”
In a May 5 letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the AGs demanded DHS “cease all efforts to police Americans’ protected speech.”
They wrote:
“The Disinformation Governance Board, by its very existence, and almost certainly by design, threatens to ‘enforce silence’ when Americans wish to express views disfavored by the Administration.
“It is therefore already chilling free speech and impeding the political process in Virginia and every other State. This is unconstitutional, illegal, and un-American.”
Georgia AG Chris Carr told Legal Newsline, “It is stunning that the Biden administration believes itself to be the arbiter of truth, so much so that it has devoted federal resources to the creation of this board.”
“The President does not have the authority to censor public discourse and to do so would infringe upon the First Amendment right enjoyed by all law-abiding citizens,” Carr added.
