Rubio, Colleagues Introduce Bill to Defund Ministry of Truth

Press Release

U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Tom Cotton (R-AR) introduced legislation to prohibit any taxpayer funds from being used to establish the Disinformation Governance Board at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

"The Biden Administration's new "Ministry of Truth' is dangerously authoritarian," Rubio said. "Labeling speech as "disinformation' is the first step for federal censorship and the end of the First Amendment. It has to be defunded."

"The Biden administration wants a government agency dedicated to cracking down on what its subjects can say, an idea popular with Orwellian governments everywhere," Cotton said. "This board is unconstitutional and un-American--my bill puts a stop to it."
