Tulsi Gabbard alleged Monday that Joe Biden was acting on behalf of his old boss, former President Barack Obama, when he pushed ahead with the creation of a Disinformation Governance Board.
Tulsi Gabbard, who has frequently criticized Biden in the past, stated on Twitter that the Biden administration outlined plans for the board just a few days after Barack Obama called for enhanced moderation of free speech.
“Biden is a front man. Obama said in April: ‘Social media censors do not go far enough,’ which is why the government must step in to complete the task. Six days after that, Homeland Security launches the ‘Ministry of Truth’ (aka Disinformation Board),” said Gabbard.
Tulsi Gabbard has been critical of the board’s rollout since it was announced, likening it to the Ministry of Truth, a reference to George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984.”
“Every dictatorship uses a propaganda arm—what we call the ‘Ministry of Truth.’ The Joe Biden White House’s establishment of the so-called “Disinformation Governance Board” has officially joined the ranks of these dictatorships,” Gabbard said on Twitter.
“The reason you see this in dictatorships is because they’re scared of us,” Gabbard stated, implying that the government was frightened by the people’s will and voices. “They’re afraid of the people. They’re afraid we might have our own opinions.”
Gabbard added that the board would “work through the mainstream media” to spread whatever narrative was chosen; she also stated that it would do so at public expense, attempting to “drown out any alternative viewpoints.”
She also argued that the new board would “silence alternative voices by using intimidation,” adding, “This is something the are already doing, this is happening right now. The one difference is they are formalizing it and making it official and if there is a silver lining here, it is they are revealing exactly what and who they are.”
