What Biden’s New Speech Czar Said Will Blow Your Mind
We told you how the Biden Administration has created a “Disinformation Governance Board” under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This board has been operating for two months and despite criticism, the Administration is defending its position.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas did media rounds this weekend to try to clarify the purpose of this board. He was on FOX News Sunday, attempting to explain this decision:
"There is no question we could have done a better job in communicating what it does. . . . This is a working group that takes best practices to make sure that, in addressing disinformation that presents a threat to the homeland, our work does not infringe on free speech, does not infringe on civil rights, civil liberties. It’s not about speech, it’s about the connectivity to violence. That is what we need to address. You know, an individual has the free speech right to spew antisemitic rhetoric. What they don’t have the right to do is take hostages in Synagogue, and that’s where we get involved."
Sec. Mayorkas was also asked about the ability of Nina Jankowicz – the head of this board – to be objective. To which he responded:
"I don’t question her objectivity. There are people in the department who have a diverse range of views, and they’re incredibly dedicated to the mission. We’re not the opinion police. She has testified before Congress a number of times. She’s recognized as a tremendous authority, and we’re very fortunate to have her."
Even though Sec. Mayorkas claims that the board is not biased, the new Executive Director of the Disinformation Governance Board Nina Jankowicz has previously stated:
"Most of the disinformation that we have seen – this highly emotionally manipulative content is coming from the right. If you look at the top ten most engaged with posts on Facebook or Twitter on a given day, they are usually posts that are coming from the right, and that’s because the right does deal on this highly emotional rhetoric."
“Highly emotional rhetoric” is protected speech. Nina even admitted in 2020 that she wouldn’t want to see this exact sort of power exercised by the Executive branch:
"Imagine that, you know, with President Trump right now calling all of these news organizations that have inconvenient for him stories that they – that they’re getting out there that he’s calling fake news, and now lashing out at platforms. I would never want to see our Executive branch have that sort of power. That’s why the legislative process with our duly elected officials is really important, that sort of consultative rule making process, and we can’t just govern by Executive order anymore."
Now, Jankowicz finds herself as the Disinformation board’s executive director.
