KARL ROVE: This is not a would-be hire. She's been at this job for two months. We just found out about it yesterday when Secretary Mayorkas gave his testimony before Congress. And I'm asking, what the heck were they thinking? This is an important issue. The Homeland Security Department ought to be on the lookout for foreign attempts to influence American public opinion through the use of the internet — misinformation or disinformation. But instead, they appointed somebody to this job who's a hack, and a partisan political hack. This is a woman who attacked the Hunter Biden laptop story by saying it was a Trump campaign diversion, and promoted those kind[s] of attacks on the Hunter Biden laptop for months and months and months. This is a woman who promoted the Steele dossier. Talk about being taken in by disinformation — she was suckered into it. This is a woman who has said the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America marginalizes communities of color. What in the heck are they thinking putting this woman in charge of a vital committee that ought to be substantive, thoughtful and above reproach?

Who is Nina Jankowicz?

A Russian disinformation expert, Nina Jankowicz reportedly studies the intersection of democracy and technology in Central and Eastern Europe. She is the author of 'How To Lose the Information War: Russia, Fake News, and the Future of Conflict', and is known for having advised the auspices of a Fulbright-Clinton Public Policy Fellowship.

------------------------------------------
Last week, Jankowicz said she opposes the The First Amendment for apparently being bad for 'marginalized communities'. She also called Elon Musk a 'free speech absolutist'.

The dystopian-sounding board has been roasted as the 'ministry of truth'. National Security Expert Brigitte Gabriel wrote on Twitter, "Joe Biden is creating his own Ministry of Truth. Stop calling him President, he's a Tyrant." Political commentator and activist Candace Owend said, "A literal, actual Ministry of Truth. We are now deep in the throes of a Harry Potter novel."

One user wrote, "When I get to the Senate I’ll defund the Biden Administration’s Ministry of Truth. This is downright scary." Another said, "It's only been a couple days since Elon purchased Twitter and the government has already formed a Ministry of Truth."

The 'Ministry of Truth' is a reference to George Orwell's '1984', a dystopian novel that depicts a society under constant surveillance under an authoritarian regime. In the novel, the name Ministry of Truth means the exact opposite of what it says -- a place where lies are manufactured. Winston Smith, the protagonist, works here, rewriting old news articles to reflect the Party's latest version of reality and throwing the old articles down a "memory hole" where they are incinerated. The Ministry of Truth reflects the Party's belief that power is the only truth and that those with power can alter the "truth" into whatever they choose.
