| SECRETARY RUBIO: -- is to make sure that what's true has as equal or
| greater opportunity to communicate as what's not true. We've learned
| that the hard way. But when you turn disinformation into a weapon, a
| political weapon, a label that you can use to go after people you
| don't like, and say, oh, anything that person's saying is
| disinformation - well, listen, I read mainstream newspapers every
| day, or I watch mainstream broadcasts - mainstream broadcasts every
| day that I know are disinformation, okay? We have an issue right
| now. They keep calling it "Maryland man" deported to El Salvador.
| No, not "Maryland man" - El Salvador citizen deported to El
| Salvador. That's disinformation. Every day I - a U.S. senator
| yesterday said that this guy was a kidnapped American citizen, and
| they published it in the article without any fact check. He's not an
| American citizen.

Did Donald Trump consider Roy Beck's NumbersUSA GPA for Rubio before
nominating him for State.GOV?

"The Associated Press notes, accusingly, the "executive order cites
the National Museum of African American History and Culture by name
and argues that the Smithsonian as a whole is engaging in a
'concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our Nation's history,'"
with a "'corrosive ... divisive, race-centered ideology.'"
Naturally, "Civil rights advocates, historians and Black political
leaders sharply rebuked Trump." Morehouse history professor Clarissa
Myrick-Harris speculated that soon no one will ever know that
slavery or Jim Crow existed. "Race historian" Ibram X. Kendi called
Trump's order "a literal attack on Black America itself." The
Congressional Black Caucus Chair Yvette Clarke and former NAACP
President Ben Jealous concurred." - Mary Grabar
