Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard claimed Sunday that President Joe Biden was doing the bidding of his old boss, former President Barack Obama, when he went ahead with plans for a Disinformation Governance Board.
Gabbard, who has often been critical of Biden, argued in a tweet that the Biden administration had announced plans for the board just days after Obama had called for better moderation 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 critical of the board since its roll-out was announced, joining a number of others in repeatedly referring to it as the Ministry of Truth — a reference to George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984.”
“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.”
