Biden’s FCC Nominee Gigi Sohn Wants To ‘Silence Dissent,’ Top Senate Republicans Say
Daily Caller ^ | 11/11/2021 | Ailan Evans

Senate Commerce Republicans are whipping opposition to the nomination of Gigi Sohn, one of President Joe Biden’s picks for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Biden nominated Sohn, former FCC counsel under Tom Wheeler and Ford Foundation alum, to an empty spot on the commission in late October, along with current acting Chair Jessica Rosenworcel to the permanent position.

While Republicans have been quiet in their response to the nomination of Rosenworcel, many are pointing to Sohn’s public statements on conservatives as reasons to oppose her confirmation.

“Ms. Sohn is another radical leftist that President Biden is seeding his administration with,” Sen. Ron Johnson told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Her hostility to free speech and constitutional rights is breathtaking and should be a grave concern to every American.”

In anticipation of losing the 2022 midterms badly Xiden and his toadies are pushing communism as far as they can. And proving yet again they are a criminal organization the Democrat darlings at BLM are making threats. I saw an article regarding that, “BLM Leader Threatens ‘Riots, Fire, Bloodshed’ in NYC If Eric Adams Gets Tough on Crime”, and you can give that a look at CanadaFreePress. The shear stupidity of wanting more crime boggles the mind, something ‘Hawk Newsome’ is obviously devoid of. Sounds like GiGi Sohn’s kissing cousin.

Trump’s last FCC pick was obstructed by the GOP Senate. Apparently, his lips were not glued closely enough to the backside of the Chamber of Commerce/Big Tech. He was eventually confirmed but the delay was outrageous given the election eve timing.

He has proven, again, what side he is on (aka Not Ours).

Are the Washington DC Swamp Republicans so stupid or so concerned about keeping the Swamp intact they can’t see that soon the Biden administration will make any upcoming elections irrelevant.

They’re domestic enemies of the USA as far as I’m concerned, no different than say China invading us and taking over our government.

Yes, they are.

And Flimsey Grahamnesty is voting to confirm them.

We MUST stop re-electing Bush League Republicans.

They will only ever be Assistant Democrats.

There will NEVER be a Lindsay 2.0 and people were stupid to believe it because of some red meat soundbites.

I was just watching Tucker who had on Gen. Mike Flynn. Flynn was saying the same thing, the problem are the RINOs who side with these enemies instead of fighting them.

The GOP is just fine with the Democrat Marxists moving the electorate to the left because that will eventually move the GOP to the left. The voting “choice” will be a full blown Marxist or a Romney Republican. There will be no door number 3.
