Why Senate Democrats would want to keep Nina Jankowicz out of the public eye is clear. But why aren’t any legislators pressing the administration for answers about exactly what the Disinformation Governance Board was doing, and planned to do before it was “paused”?
“Canceled: Senate Dems Nix ‘Disinformation’ Hearing After Embarrassing Jankowicz Videos Surface,” by Joseph Simonson, Washington Free Beacon, May 17, 2022:
Senate Democrats abruptly canceled a hearing at which President Joe Biden’s new disinformation czar Nina Jankowicz was expected to testify, a decision made after embarrassing videos posted by the self-proclaimed “Mary Poppins of disinformation” sparked a political firestorm.
Senate Democrats planned to hold a May 10 hearing on “disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation,” just a couple of weeks after Biden tapped Jankowicz to head his administration’s newly created Disinformation Governance Board. Democratic leaders were reluctant to have Jankowicz face Republican questioning, however, prompting them to nix the hearing, three Senate offices told the Washington Free Beacon.
“They yanked it when the entire ‘disinformation board’ blew up,” one senior aide told the Free Beacon. “They realized there’s no way they could reschedule without Nina Jankowicz being called to testify.”
The Senate’s Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee had the hearing scheduled since April, but the optics of the hearing in light of Jankowicz’s negative press led to its abrupt cancellation. Such hearings are normally sleepy events on Capitol Hill, but the controversy surrounding Jankowicz would have made the hearing a spectacle. The hearing would have been an opportunity for Republicans to question not only Jankowicz but also the creation of the board in the first place. The administration has refused to answer questions about its decision to give the disinformation post to Jankowicz, who has drawn criticism for falsely labeling Hunter Biden’s laptop a “Russian influence op” and for her flamboyant TikTok videos.
Canceling Senate hearings on such short notice is out of the ordinary and typically does not happen unless a witness or expert falls ill or has a last-minute scheduling conflict. The disinformation hearing, according to multiple Senate offices, had been scheduled since early April and was planned for May 10….

Jankowicz has managed a great feat, to wit, she is so nutty that even Democrats realize she is too much.
James Lincoln says
And that’s saying something, Wellington!

She is not an exception. She is the rule.
If you study Democrats, the moving of lips is an indication of lying.They create&govern disinformation.

some republicans had already talked of defunding it, and it would have been interesting to watch some of the senators question her. There are a few of those guys who can “grill” until the subject is done to a turn.

Senate abruptly cancels ‘disinformation’ hearing after Disinfo Board chief’s song to censorship surfaces
………………
I wonder what this hearing would have covered? It likely *would* have been pretty quiet–no chance of that now…
Walter Sieruk says
Those videos of Nina Jankowicz can make a person wonder to the point of asking “ Is Jankowicz just absurd or is she absurdly dangerous ? “
Walter Sieruk says
The chief of this Biden D.G.B. will be headed by leftist/politically correct self-confident young woman called Nina Jankowicz as the leader of this “Thought police” unit.

D.G.B.? Is this DGBS, “do good by stealth”? This usually refers not to an Orwellian state agency, but something along the lines of anonymous donations to charity to avoid public acclaim. This is usually done by wealthy but modest givers–hardly the case here. They probably just hoped no one much would notice this agency until it had a chance to do a lot of harm.

She is as ridiculous as she is also terrible.
Walter Sieruk says
Related to the subject of the founding of this new Biden regime propaganda machine with the far -leftist Nina Jankowicz as its head is that “ministry of truth” type institute is one of the many terrible results of the massive election rigged election fraud 2020 November national “election.”
So two things need to be made clear.
First, this is the very first time in the history of the United States that this nation has no President.
Instead this country has only a criminally installed figurehead.
Second, one of the many tragic fruits of this is the radical leftist Nina Jankowicz who is the head of the Biden regime’s new created “Disinformation Governance Board” which in reality is more the Orwellian totalitarian state “Ministry of truth” in the George Orwell classic novel “1984.”
The point being the sinister impostor “president” , Biden , with one of his top politically correct propagandist ,Jankowicz , ready and willing to disseminate lies under the disingenuous pretense of “truth speaking” . Even to the point of, by gradualism, use governmental power to silence those who actually speak and publish genuine truth is unconstitutional tyrannical, despicable and outright wrong.
This is leading to a freedom catastrophe and the American people should not let that affront to liberty occur.
As George Washington has, very wisely, declared “If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led like sheep to the slaughter.”
Walter Sieruk says
That thing that the Biden regime tried to create was a monstrously of an institution with the title of “Disinformation Governance Board.” is obviously nothing but a politically correct leftist propaganda machine.
As of the kind found in the George Orwell Novel “1984” in which that tyrannical oppressing regime had it lying “Ministry of Truth.”
This Biden D.G.B. government organization can and may, rightly, be viewed as a terrible omen of the insidious leftist/Marxist, Red -Green Alliance movement of political gradualism. In which slowly more and more PC thought control by the D.G.B. and other branches of Marxist/Islamic infiltrated branches will act to further chip away it the freedom of speech and then even freedom of thought granted by the American citizen’s by the US Constitution.
Walter Sieruk says
The new government propaganda institution recently attempted to have installed by the Biden regime is as insidiously disturbing as it’s also sinister.
This politically correct pro- socialist Islam promoting propaganda machine to a hideous step towards government fed limited information and false information for gradual, attempted, mind control of America’s citizens.
Deceptively and ironically called “The Disinformation Governance Board” This of tyranny mind control danger was foreseen by the novelist George Orwell in his book entitled “1984” in the story “Ministry of Truth ” which was set up by a tyrannical regime.
Walter Sieruk says
The Biden regime’s “Ministry of Truth” Chief is not only silly but nonsensical. It figure’s
This is because everyone creepy old Joe picks is the other branch of his administration is nonsensical if not also subversively un-American.
Therefore, it should be of no surprise that Biden would choose “a lunatic” For this newly created politically correct leftist propaganda institution.
Walter Sieruk says
Regarding The Biden’s Thought Police, chief Nina Jankowicz,
Strangely enough Jankowicz might actually securely feel with her D.G.B. that she is really doing “the right thing” and is “doing good.”,” She certainly believes that what she is doing is protecting the freedom of speech by getting rid of all the “disinformation” and “hate” that is blocking the way of the truth and giving the truth a clear path.
This politically correct delusion and the actions that she now involved in because of this PC delusion only further proves valid the old , sad tragic reality of the truth of the proverb that “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
Walter Sieruk says
The disingenuous and outright lying propaganda chief of the Biden regimes attempted creation and established of a “Ministry of Truth” will would have had no ethics ,at all ,will be churning out politically correct balderdash.
Nina Jankowicz and board she now heads is the outcome of the pseudo “President ” Joe Biden and his far-leftist farce and a “administration.’
As the Biden “Presidency” is based on a foundation of election fraud which is held up by others in high national and international power who are just a evil and dangerous as creepy old Joe but who are much more intelligent than him.
Meaning, of course, Joe Biden who is only a puppet :”president” or otherwise called a”zombie or vegetable brain ‘President’ ”
For Biden is a useful idiot or stooge who is the tool of those just mentioned above in high national; and international power who use him as their tool to achieve their insidious and sinister agenda.
One of the many goals of that “power elite” is seen in the establishment of this “Ministry of Truth” , naturally they gave it another name, that is headed by that left- wing , Red/Green alliance minded woman, Jankowicz.
In addition, this new Biden government propaganda institution recently installed by the Biden regime is as insidiously disturbing as it’s also sinister.
This politically correct pro- socialist Islam promoting propaganda machine to a hideous step towards government fed limited information and false information for gradual, attempted, mind control of America’s citizens.
Deceptively and ironically called “The Disinformation Governance Board” This of tyranny mind control danger was foreseen by the novelist George Orwell in his book entitled “1984” in the story “Ministry of Truth ” which was set up by a tyrannical regime.
Walter Sieruk says
Nana Jankowicz had said “I shudder to think about if free speech absolutists taking over more platforms…”
The first three words of her sentence starts off with the emotion of Jankowicz . Her politically correct emotion will with a passion strive to silence, as far as she is able to, all the people who will speak out and appose by exposing the insidious evil and deceptions of the movement of the Red/Green alliance.
Likewise she does “shudder” to think those as Robert Spencer , Brigitte Gabriel and Pamela Geller might keep their platforms to speak out about the stealth jihad and the subversive dangers of the stealth jihadists as Ilan Omar
Furthermore we may be sure that Jankowicz does ,indeed ,”shudder” to think that men who in past times had been Muslims do speak out, with free speech and reveal the history of the horrors and oppression as well as the twenty-first century horrors terrors and oppression and current dangers of Islam as the former Muslim Ibn Warraq, who is now exposing the disturbing truth about Islam , as in his book entitled THE ISLAM In ISLAMIC TERRORISM.
Moreover, Janknowicz might well “shudder” at the very thought of Christian men,as Mark A. Gabriel in his book titled ISLAM AND TERRORISM, who used to be Muslim now have the freedom of speech to speak out and expose the outright contradictions of the Qu ‘ran and how Islamic doctrine is in strong contrast to Bible doctrines, in addition who the Qu ‘ran does instruct violence and killing for Islam alone the brutal and cruel misogyny of Islam.
George Washington has ,very wisely, declared “If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led like sheep to the slaughter.”

People are being encouraged to go insane and believe themselves smarter than the average bear.
“A witness who supports abortion rights during the House Judiciary Committee’s abortion hearing Wednesday said she believes a person can choose what gender they identify as and that, therefore, men can get pregnant and have abortions.
“Aimee Arrambide, the executive director of the abortion advocacy group Avow Texas, was asked by Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) what she believes the definition of a woman is.
“I believe that everyone can identify for themselves,” Arrambide said.
When asked if she then believed that men could therefore get pregnant and have abortions, her response was a simple “yes.” Bishop did not push the topic any further.”

Crazy stuff, Somehistory. Thanks for that link.
Now, politics has sadly always been rife with people claiming stances they may not actually believe in out of political expediency, but I have never seen it to this extent in the United States (this is of course a mainstay of totalitarian regimes).
Are we to believe that this fool and those like him *actually* believe that men can get pregnant? I doubt it–but it is too “politically incorrect” for him to say otherwise. When you have this degree of ignoring reality you know you are in deep trouble.
somehistory says
Yes, g, when they are given so much attention, and then young kids like those in middle school who refuse to go along with the insanity get sued, what can we expect to happen to the rest of us who refuse to pretend that these people are right?
Guess this gets rid of the argument that “men don’t have a say in the issue,” so many women have been shouting.

Have you seen Billy Gates lately, he looks pregnant. LOL
OLD GUY says
One has to remember that we closed down the mental health institutions in the 70s and turned the mentally insane back into society. They live on our streets and breed like rats, so guess what we have lots more nuts running around. Now throw in the drug users and their offspring and one can see why things are a little crazy out there.
But then what do I know, I think I’am still a man who can’t get pregnant and don’t want to. But then maybe I’am just an old dog and don’t know it yet. Maybe the Information Board Chief can let me know.

Typical leftist nonsense. Whose idea was this? Such an obviously unconstitutional idea should’ve never gotten off the drawing board. If we had an honest media, this stupidity would weigh down the Ds for years. As it is, however, it will all disappear down the memory hole in just a few days.
