""BREAKING: @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell To Surrender FCC To Dems In Trade To Get His Own #NeverTrump Staffer On FERC""

Multiple DC sources have confirmed to GotNews that an effort to give Democrats control of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for months into Trump’s presidency is actually being led by Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell himself.

McConnell has reached an agreement with President Barack Obama and Democratic Senator Harry Reid to trade away control of the FCC for in exchange for confirmation of his own staffer, Neil Chatterjee, to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

The FCC has vast jurisdiction over the Internet, television, and radio. It is one of the most powerful federal agencies. So why would Mitch McConnell give it away by agreeing to reconfirm Democrat Jessica Rosenworcel even though Democrats already control two of the other five seats well into next year?

So if this is true, how do we STOP Mitch McConnell from doing this? We should NEVER make a deal with the left or let them have total control of the FCC.....What do we do?

Why would he do this, even for a favorite employee? He must hold control of the FCC in low regard to sell it so cheaply.

I’m certainly hoping that this is NOT true. We’ll find out soon enough whether it is true and, if it is, McConnell continues his despicable support of the Uniparty’s campaign to weaken/destroy America.

From the time that Trump’s win began to look possible I have expected the Republicans to do everything they can to sabotage him once he is in office, or, in this case, before he is even in office.

That disgusting snake is joined at the hip with the most disgusting politician ever to set foot on Capitol Hill. No, I’m not referring to Mittens or Ted Kennedy or John McCain. I’m talking about that puke Paul Ryan. These disgusting #neverTrumpers are going to sabotage President Trump at every opportunity. Despicable establishment RINOs.

Agreed. Too crazy to be believed. Trump has got McConnell by the gonads with his wife being named for Transportation Sec.

It’s a bearded hipster ginger kid with Woody Allen glasses that’s the source.

I’m wildly sceptical.
