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.
Trump is going to very busy in his first term.
McCon is trying to get Internet shut off to non Leftist input as part of the Democrats’ reaction and opposition to the shocking interloper Trump.
Just following in the footsteps of the great leader of the Senate Trent Lott who after receiving a majority in the Senate made sure as his first priority to give the Democrats an equal share of power and veto over any conservative proposals or nominees.
This is a fake story. Sad to see GP jump on it like this.
This should be in Blogs. Articles with no sources from a site where every article is written by the same person is a blog.
McConnel is and always will be a low life POS
“Why do you think McConnell is doing this?”
To start with, there is no evidence Turtle is actually doing anything like this.
2ndly, & back into reality we go, Turtle is not going to backstab his wife’s new boss. He’s sneaky but he’s not suicidal.
But hey, Abe Lincoln said if it’s on the internet it must be true, right?
Some solutions are so obvious, they scream out. Name the Turtle Ambassador to Yemen and his #NeverTrump buddy to Pakistan.
Then leak the word, after confirmation, that they are both homosexuals.
The president appoints the head of the FCC and the senate confirms. Mitch has no such power.
I don’t believe he IS doing this.
The source is not credible.
McConnell has learned NOTHING! Quietly recruit KY Governor Matt Bevin to run against McConnell again, this time with full support of POTUS Trump, with Trump taking responsibility for raising MASSIVE amounts of $$$$$ for Bevin since $$$$$ is McConnell’s favorite and only weapon is $$$$$. POTUS can TRUMP that! This is the thanks that Trump gets for appointing McConnell’s wife as secretary of Transportation. Who the hell does Mitchie McTurtle hallucinate that he is? Sneak up on him and turn the SOB into turtle soup in the next primary.
Republicans need to throw him out of the party and select a new senate majority leader. Drain the swamp also applies to Republicans, they’re on life support and had better clean up their act now or be replaced.
McConnell is one of the liars and thieves. The triple chinned Commie actually thinks he is better than us and wants all of us to become his serfs.
Abolish the FCC. Let the industry players and investors sort it out. It’s none of the government’s business. Let the most profitable companies win—not Leftist networks who have been grandfathered into position since the 1920s. Problem solved.
Give it away for one staffer. Yes, that’s how much our freedom of speech is worth to him.
