(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard said that President Joe Biden created the Disinformation Governance Board on the order of his old boss, former President Barack Obama, The Daily Wire reported.
Gabbard has been openly critical of Biden, and made this argument in a tweet after the administration announced the plan for the newfound board days after Obama called for better monitoring of misinformation and disinformation.
“Biden is just a front man. Obama, April 21: social media censors ‘don’t go far enough,’ so the government needs to step in to do the job. Six days later, Homeland Security rolls out the ‘Ministry of Truth’ (aka Disinformation Governance Board),” the former Democratic presidential candidate explained.

Gabbard has been openly critical of the board since it was announced:
“Every dictatorship has a propaganda arm—a ‘Ministry of Truth.’ The Biden Administration has now formally joined the ranks of such dictatorships with their creation of the so-called ‘Disinformation Governance Board,’” Gabbard tweeted, sharing a video clip of her comments from an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity.”

“The reason why you see this in dictatorships is because they’re afraid of us,” Gabbard told host Sean Hannity, meaning that the government feared the will and voices of the people. “They’re afraid of the people, they’re afraid that we might actually think for ourselves.”
She then went on to say that the board would “work through the mainstream media” to cultivate the chosen narrative and silence dissenting voices and on the taxpayer dime.
Gabbard continued, explaining that people need to stand up and fight back.
“We’re not going to let you get away with this crap,” she said. “We will take a stand, we will reject it, and we will throw out of office those who are continuing to push and propagate this undemocratic, anti-free speech mission.”
