Senator Rand Paul grilled Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on the recently announced "disinformation governance board" Wednesday, noting that there isn't even an agreement of what disinformation is and that the government has a long history of propagating it.

Paul questioned Mayorkas on the new board, which has been dubbed a 'Ministry of Truth' by critics, referencing George Orwell's 1984.

The Senator asked the DHS head "Do you think the Steele dossier included Russian disinformation?" prompting Mayorkas to answer that he is "not equipped" to answer that.

Paul followed up, "You say your new disinformation board is going to help the public with disinformation. You claim it is not going to be about domestic, it is going to be about foreigners. Those evil Russians."
