Disinformation Inc 🔎: EXCLUSIVE — repdarrellissa is calling on the StateDept to investigate grants it sent to a 'disinformation' tracking group that is feeding conservative website blacklists to advertising companies in order to shut them down.

The congressman added,"It is imperative that the Department of State undertake a prompt and comprehensive inquiry into any grants, authorities, and policies that may be improperly and illegally used to curtail the free expression of conservative and/or domestic media, and to take corrective measures as warranted by the results of such investigation."
In his letter, Issa alleged that the Global Engagement Center"has strayed from its original mission and organizing principles." The center has continued to come under fire for coordinating with Twitter on content moderation related to COVID-19 and other topics in 2020, as revealed by the"Twitter Files" published by journalist Matt Taibbi.
Issa, who is a member of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, a GOP-led body investigating the alleged politicization of agencies like the FBI, also sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The committee, led by Chairman Michael McCaul , is investigating the conservative blacklists, and its staffers received a classified State Department briefing on Wednesday in connection to government funding to GDI.
