The Biden administration's newly formed misinformation board is"deeply concerning" and must be disbanded immediately due to its threat to the free speech of Americans, according to former Vice President Mike Pence." sparking free speech concerns by both Democrats and Republicans.
"Well, first and foremost, Thomas Jefferson said it well. He said, ‘If I was given a choice between a government with no newspapers or newspapers with no government, I would choose the latter.’ The government has no business regulating free speech along the lines of misinformation or content. I mean, that, I think is deeply concerning, not even commenting on the individual that they've named to lead this board," Pence told Fox News Digital during an exclusive interview on Saturday.
Pence told Fox News Digital said the creation of DHS' board is particularly concerning as recently conservatives have been taken off social media platforms and news articles, including the Hunter Biden laptop story, have been censored. Pence concluded:"So, the administration's efforts on managing misinformation should be abandoned immediately."
"I welcome news that Elon Musk, who I got to know during my time as vice president, will be taking over Twitter. I have a sense that he understands that it is part of the public square. And I think everybody should be welcome in the public square," said Pence. "I mean, there are time honored limitations regarding obscenity, and you can't cry fire in a crowded theater. But beyond those time honored traditions, we are we ought to be able to talk to one another. We all ought to be able to tweet at one another. And I hope Elon Musk will open the door to everybody.
