Perfection: Ex Minister of Truth Nina Jankowicz helped promote now deleted misinformation about Clarence Thomas
As we told you yesterday, Politico ended up deleting and later correcting a false tweet that said “Clarence Thomas claimed in a dissenting opinion that Covid vaccines are derived from the cells of ‘aborted children’.” However, before the original tweet was deleted, the false claim was retweeted by Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler.
The facepalm-worthy nature of this story continued after the former director of the DHS’s “Disinformation Governance Board” was spotted retweeting the false tweet from Politico:
Jankowicz Says Biden Admin 'Rolled Over' After Criticism
Stelter asked why the DHS didn’t do a better job of explaining what it was doing with the new board. As if a better explanation would somehow make the Board a good idea, when in fact it was a terrible, anti-free speech notion from the start. Jankowicz replied:
Jankowicz said she based her decision to resign on her feeling that “the government had just rolled over, to the critics, who had completely spun this narrative out of control based on absolutely nothing in reality.”
In other words, the DHS put up someone who wasn’t qualified, had plenty of baggage in her Twitter feed—including disinformation—and then left her hanging out to dry when things didn’t go as planned. I’d almost feel sorry for her, if she hadn’t brought so much of it on herself.
That's the thing I can't understand about these crazy libs. They actually DO believe they are right and not any evidence to the contrary will change their minds.
