DeSantis: Biden Installing an Orwellian 'Ministry of Truth' to Feed Hoaxes, Silence Critics
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday likened the Department of Homeland Security's new Disinformation Governance Board under President Joe Biden to the ominous "Ministry of Truth" from George Orwell's dystopian novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four," Breitbartreported.

DeSantis, a Republican, also criticized agency head Nina Jankowicz – a disinformation expert who previously worked for the Wilson Center and whose history includes criticism of the now-confirmed Hunter Biden laptop story, according to the New York Post.

A frightening development. I like how Sen. Josh Hawley put it: "“Rather than police our border, Homeland Security has decided to make policing Americans’ speech its top priority,”

This "Ministry of Truth" deal is going to blow up in Biden's face so bad. It just made the midterm chances WORSE for Democrats.

We need to fight the type of disinformation prevalent on FoxNews/Pravda and H8 Radio, but this is the Democrats shooting themselves in the foot yet again. It's the return of defund the police. Who does public relations for the Democratic Party, Tucker's mom?

Will Biden's Bureau of Truth or Disinformation be able to arrest people for expressing unapproved speech? Asking for a friend I'd never say anything inappropriate.

Whoever it is, they should be fired.

Of course one would first have to put any stock into anything Desantis thinks or says, which thankfully the majority of Americans don't.

Not to worry about the new Ministry of Truth.

The mainstream media have been doing the same job for years.

Why do you think Candidate Biden received (reputedly) 81,000,000 votes?

And why do you think those Twitter employees are going bananas because they fear that their monopoly on ideas may be over?

Every republican accusation is a confession.

That's the plan. Mary Poppins will work closely with NYT, WaPo, CNN and MSNBC, NPR, Snopes, and Friendly Fact Checkers to coordinate messaging and get the word out that the Orange Turd is a danger to democracy.
