Sen. Cramer, Colleagues Introduce Legislation to Defund Homeland Security's "Disinformation Board"

Press Release

Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) joined Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) in introducing legislation to bar federal funds from being used to establish a Disinformation Governance Board at the Department of Homeland Security.

"Government agencies are never and should never be the sole voice of truth. The role of government is to act on behalf of the people, not tell them what to think. This is completely unconstitutional and against everything I stand for as an American. The bill fights back against the Biden Administration's totalitarian rule to give power back to the people," said Senator Cramer.

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

Senators Cramer and Cotton were joined by Senators John Boozman (R-AR), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rick Scott (R-FL), Jim Risch (R-ID), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Mike Lee (R-UT), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Mike Braun (R-IN), John Kennedy (R-LA), Todd Young (R-IN), and James Lankford (R-OK).
