EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., has authored legislation to shut down a new Department of Homeland Security board designed to police misinformation.
Republicans – already leery of censorship following Big Tech's efforts to shut down the New York Post's story on Hunter Biden's laptop after Democrats labeled it Russian disinformation – were aghast at the new department.
"No tax dollars should go to where Biden can use the power of the federal government to silence truthful stories like Big Tech did with the Hunter Biden story," Boebert said. "Democrats took that [book] not as a warning, but as a guide," she said.
"We know there has been a range of [disinformation] out there about a range of topics, I mean, including COVID for example, and also elections and eligibility," Psaki said.
