Joe Manchin Opposes Biden FCC Nominee over ‘Toxic Partisanship’
Breitbart ^ | 03-07-2023 | Sean Moran

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said he would oppose President Joe Biden’s FCC nominee, Gigi Sohn, saying that Sohn cannot rise above her “toxic partisanship.”

“The FCC must remain above the toxic partisanship that Americans are sick and tired of, and Ms. Sohn has clearly shown she is not the person to do that,” Manchin said in a statement.

Manchin’s opposition to Sohn could likely sink her nomination to serve at the FCC. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is still in the hospital being treated for clinical depression, and if one more Democrat opposes her, it could effectively tank her nomination.

Gigi Sohn is an extreme leftwing whacko, even for the Biden people. I get the feeling that this is theater for Manchin’s benefit.

Make a rule. Unattractive people can’t be appointed. A lot of leftists will lose their chance.
