In another victory for the American people, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has shuttered Joe Biden’s un-American department of censorship putting an end to Biden’s efforts to eliminate the First Amendment and to give the Democrats the power to control the media.
On Wednesday, Rubio reported that he had shuttered the Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference office.
Per Politico:
In a statement, Rubio claimed the Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference office at the State Department, formerly known as the Global Engagement Center, had “spent millions of dollars to actively silence and censor the voices of Americans they were supposed to be serving.” According to Rubio, the relatively modest federal office expended “more than $50 million per year.”
“This is antithetical to the very principals [sic] we should be upholding and inconceivable it was taking place in America,” Rubio said. “That ends today. Under the administration of President Trump, we will always work to protect the rights of the American people, and this is an important step in continuing to fulfill that commitment.”

“They were also taking money from this program and using it to fund these NGOs, these third party groups who were supposed to be impartial. Those groups were then tagging — They were literally tagging and labeling voices in American politics,” Rubio explained.
“American taxpayers through the State Department were paying groups to attack Americans and to try to silence the voice of Americans,” he said.
“Before President Trump took over and they disbanded this unit, they just renamed it and moved it somewhere else. But now over the last few months, we’ve worked on it and just taken it down,” he continued.
“We are going to spend money on messaging. It’s going to be pro-American messaging,” he said.
