To hell with Free Speech, to hell with the American People and to hell with Trump.
Charles Johnson at GotNews.com reports that Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has made an agreement with Obama and Democratic Senator Harry Reid to give control of the FCC to the Democrats.
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)….
Chatterjee is one of McConnell’s closest and most prized staffers. His nomination has been stalled and because Chatterjee is a known #NeverTrump activist, McConnell is desperate to get him confirmed before the end of the year to prevent Trump from naming his own loyal supporters to FERC instead next year.
McConnell was no fan of President-elect Donald Trump and did nothing for his campaign or election while regularly denouncing Trump. However, his move to turn over control of the FCC so his #NeverTrump staffer obtains an appointment puts McConnell in line with Democrats.
The Democrats never think that their positions are their problem. They support abortion, massive government spending, social versus individual rights, horrible foreign policies, no borders, global warming, etc… Rather than changing their illogical and murderous socialist positions, Democrats believe in the fascist communist principle of silencing alternative voices.
President Obama has been going after free speech his entire Presidency but especially since the election. He surrendered control of the Internet to non US entities. He supported FCC actions to stop conservative views on the Internet. Hillary also gave her infamous ‘Alt Right’ speech where she too went after free speech.

The Democrats owned the message on all the cable and major media channels during the election (including FOX with a couple exceptions). They own the messages at most newspapers, most news sources, most social media companies and Hollywood. Because of this the Internet has blossomed with numerous sites sharing the truth from a conservative point of view.
By running the FCC Democrats can ultimately shut down conservative points of view on the Internet and almost everywhere. The FCC has vast jurisdiction over the Internet, television, and radio, making it one of the most powerful federal agencies.
McConnell’s move to hand over control of the FCC so his staffer can get an appointment is treasonous to the American people, the Republican Party and to President-elect Trump. God help us – Drain the Swamp.
WTF?
I’m not ready to believe this poorly sourced claim.
Makes no sense - all Trump would have to do is fire the FERC political appointee of Turtle. Don’t believe this story.
Let me again extend my appreciation to the voters of Ky for reelecting this POS time and time again. You join the great wise voters of Arizona who reelected McSwain and SC for reelecting that dwarf light in loafers Linseed.
Why would anyone do business with Dirty Harry ?
Get rid of the FCC. It is a useless appendage......................
But it is very believable. I can’t wait until the inauguration!
Does the rino McConnell have the authority to do this? Does he understand that the internet is a source of truth to the alternative fascist liars and thieves in the lamestream media who report lies and work for communist democrats and their rino familiars.
But it is very believable. I can’t wait until the inauguration!
This all sounds like a preamble to the start of a new, but real life Fahrenheit 451.
senator McConnell has been a miserable failure as Senate majority leader.
Trump needs to stop this immediately.
When the Trump administration drains the swamp McConnell needs to go.
That said, which is true, wondering if this is fake news?
“I’m not ready to believe this poorly sourced claim.”
Why do you think McConnell is doing this?
I don't see anything unbelievable here. The Turtle is set in his ways and will be still not doin' the work of the American People going forward as much as he is able to get away with. The people of Kentucky's fault, Trump not withstanding.
So much for Trump giving McConnell’s wife a plum job to assure his support.
In 2013 and 2014, Trump made big donations to McConnell and McConnell’s PAC. Little did he know.
Somewhere in the White House or elsewhere in D.C. there are a group of Obama advisors working on a program, answering this question: What can we do before the inauguration that would harm a Trump administration most?
This one is easily reversible.
Woe to those who criticize power-hungry politicians with super-sized egos.
And the only source for this is that idiot blogger “gotnews” and his anonymous sources. Calling BS on this fake news until Trumps appointment is known.
