"CNN’s Dana Bash pressed Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the Department of Homeland Security’s formation of a Disinformation Governance Board to counteract information it deems inaccurate.
Mayorkas gave Bash an interview for State of the Union, and the CNN anchor noted how the newly-formed board is already coming under heavy criticism among conservatives.
“Republicans are calling it ‘Orwellian’ and comparing it to the Ministry of Truth in the novel 1984,” Bash said. “Can you clarify what exactly is this? What exactly will this disinformation governance board do? Will it monitor American citizens?”
Mayorkas conceded “we probably could have done a better job of communicating” the board’s purpose, even as he defended it by citing foreign disinformation as a threat to homeland security. Bash continued to press Mayorkas on how the board will work, asking again “Will American citizens be monitored?”
“No.” Mayorkas answered, to which, Bash asked if he could “guarantee that.”"
