Biden Suffers Embarrassing Defeat After Controversial Nominee Withdraws Nomination

In a major victory for free speech in America, controversial Biden nominee Gigi Sohn has withdrawn her nomination to the FCC.

Sohn was at the center of a firestorm that had lasted for nearly a year and a half. Her nomination initially failed during the less US Senate term because she was such a terrible candidate for the job. The White House then inexplicably renominated her in January of 2023, believing that the new one-seat larger Democrat majority would force her through.

The Washington Post broke the news, though they did their best to present Sohn as a victim of unfair attacks.

President Biden’s pick to serve as a telecommunications regulator is withdrawing her nomination to the Federal Communications Commission, following a bitter 16-month lobbying battle that blocked her appointment and opened her up to relentless personal attacks.

Gigi Sohn, a longtime public interest advocate and former Democratic FCC official who was first nominated by the White House in October 2021, said her decision to withdraw follows “unrelenting, dishonest and cruel attacks” seeded by cable and media industry lobbyists. The announcement is a defeat for consumer advocates, who had rallied behind Sohn during three Senate confirmation hearings.

But it is a devastating blow to the Biden administration, whose ambitious internet agenda has been mired in limbo for more than two years, amid a deadlock at the FCC.

While Sohn claims she withdrew because of the attacks against her, the reality is that Sohn doesn’t have the votes, and she doesn’t have the votes because she doesn’t deserve the votes. She’s a far-left kook that has no business on a supposedly non-partisan commission that makes important decisions relating to the flow of information in the country.

Exactly......but then that’s what Bidens family IS....PERVERTS, SEXUAL DEVIANTS with a twisted way of thinking that opposes this countries foundations.

[plain talk]

You killed me with that one!

In July 2017, she held fellowship positions with... Open Society Foundations.

It’s one of GEORGE SOROS’s dyke-freaks.

Another wack-a-doodle do lesbian. Wikipedia confirms she got married to a woman.

The FAA clown makes the other nominees look brilliant by comparison—the Democrats are getting ready to nominate a chimp for the next major job—and dare Republicans to complain about it.

[truthkeeper]

And didn't the candidate for the Director of National Archives have her name withdrawn, or put on hold?

Another unqualified, horribly partisan Feminazi. Biden seems to love those.

OMG!

[telescope115]

My question too…
Homely either way.

Well now that I have seen a photo, I now see what her qualifications are. Far left Kook is just the beginning of her “resume”

[ealgeone]

I would have voted against her just for the picture.

[Sam Gamgee]

For those fans of the Time Machine she is an eloi.

Personal life:

Sohn married Lara Ballard in August 2007

Is that a dude or a chick?

A cross between the two: a dyck.

Whoa! Not just another pretty face. I think Rep Rosa DeLauro and a badger had a child.

I’ve been cautioned about posting images of DeLauro so you’ll have to Google her/it yourself but she makes this one look like a super model. Almist.

Jeepers! Have we found the next Helen Thomas???

Nothing beats Helen Thomas…nothing!

Now, get rid of that idiot they put up for the FAA top spot.
That interview was downright brutal!

[MayflowerMadam]

A woman has to put in a lot of effort to look that ugly.

That thing was just another lawsuit magnet. Would have been like a bull in a china closet in the FCC. Get sued, called out and jumped on by various House reps, media circus drama, just a big non productive stink bomb until resigning from the heat or being shown the door over something egregious. Had to have been some connected buddy on the inside who initiated that nomination since there was nothing of merit which would have instigated support outside of anything but a small circle of fellow shady malcontents.

Cover for trying to press through Phil Washington at FAA, who, if nominated, will get planeloads of people killed, plain and simple.

We have reached Nadir America, where marginally competent white Democrats were never considered for Phil Washington's FAA position; or WA Federal District Court nominee Charnelle Ratchet (who still hasn't withdrawn her nomination, like Petersen wisely did under President Trump); or straight candidates discarded in favor of Sam The Homo Hobo Stealing Women's Luggage; or distaff disarray when Sec'y Mayorjokeass completely failed to establish Nina Jokeabitch as Sec'y of Disinformation.

At Biden's installation, it was either Biden gets installed as the first puppet-regime to take over the United States (with their hilarious, frantic scramble for 313K votes spread over 6 states at 1 am in the morning on the Long Night of Blunt Knives After Election Day), or the mask was going to come off the Deep State, and Milley would have presided over a military junta, with the mild, ambiguous promise to transition to ... wait for it ... Biden's installation at a future date.
