   Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., challenged Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro   
   Mayorkas over his department's newly-announced Disinformation   
   Governance Board, asserting that the American people do not need the   
   federal government to tell them what the truth is.   
      
   Paul specifically pointed to claims that he has made about the COVID-19   
   pandemic that have not been in line with administration policies.   
      
   "I’ve said a million times that cloth masks don't work. YouTube takes   
   me down. They’re a private company I can have that beef with him. What   
   about you? You're going to look at that? I often say that natural   
   immunity from having had the infection is equal to the vaccine or   
   better. You're going to take that down?"   
      
   "Are you going to put information out there saying that I'm spreading   
   disinformation?" Paul asked.   
      
   Mayorkas would not answer, claiming that Paul was giving him "vague"   
   hypothetical situations. Paul claimed that his examples were "very   
   specific."
