Sen. Blackburn accuses DHS of 'policing' speech, thoughts of Americans through anti-terrorism bulletin
Fox News
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R- Tenn., on Tuesday sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas expressing concern with the Department's apparent efforts to control online speech and disinformation.
The bulletin notes the spread of "false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19" online as "[k]ey factors contributing to the current heightened threat environment."
"I am concerned about the appearance of the Department of Homeland Security policing the speech, thoughts, and opinions of American citizens," Blackburn wrote in her letter, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital. "In issuing this Bulletin, the Department of Homeland Security appears to endorse particular narratives regarding controversial issues that are at the center of our national political conversation."
