On Thursday, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert introduced the Protecting Free Speech Act to permanently terminate and defund any efforts by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to revamp the failed, unconstitutional Disinformation Governance Board.
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “The Disinformation Governance Board was a terrible idea to begin with, and my Protecting Free Speech Act ensures that it stays where it belongs: the ash heap of history. I killed this Board with my public pressure campaign last year, and my bill will change the law to make sure it stays dead. Such an egregious attack on free speech should never again be proposed by the government of a free people.”
More than 80 House Republicans began to fight back after Boebert introduced the Protecting Free Speech Act originally last year. DHS announced the Disinformation Governance Board was permanently canceled a few months after Boebert filed her bill.
