State Dep’t Absurdly ‘Stands By’ Funding ‘Conservative Blacklister’

The Biden State Department claimed it “stands by” its funding to a group that blacklisted conservative sites.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) slammed the Biden State Department’s interagency Global Engagement Center (GEC) in a March letter, demanding an investigation into GEC’s $100,000 grant to the “conservative blacklister” Global Disinformation Index (GDI) – a group that blacklisted “conservative” websites, including The Daily Wire and The Federalist, according to the Washington Examiner. GEC responded to Issa in a May 26 letter about its funding of GDI, justifying its funding instead of admitting a mistake, according to the Washington Examiner.
