During a Friday press conference, Governor Ron DeSantis vowed that Florida “will be fighting back” against the Biden administration’s newly-created “Disinformation Governance Board,” described by DeSantis’s office as an “unprecedented threat” to the Constitution.
“I actually thought this was just a belated April Fool’s joke, but they are actually going to create in the Department of Homeland Security a bureau of disinformation,” DeSantis said. “It’s basically a ‘Ministry of Truth,’ and what they want to do is, they want to be able to put out false narratives without people being able to speak out and fight back.”
“They want to be able to say things like, ‘Russia collusion’ and perpetuate hoaxes and then have people like us be silenced,” he continued. “They want to be able to advocate for COVID lockdowns. They want to be able to advocate for school closures — things that are not supported by the evidence, but then, when you speak out, they want to stifle dissent.”
