Biden Suffers Embarrassing Defeat After Controversial Nominee Withdraws Nomination
RedState ^ | 3/7/23 | Bonchie

Posted on 03/07/2023 11:56:51 AM PST by cotton1706

In a major victory for free speech in America, controversial Biden nominee Gigi Sohn has withdrawn her nomination to the FCC.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

His administration has the most homosexual and bisexual
people in it.
*********

I saw today the Lesbien black Biden spokesman behind her podium Karine Jean-Pierre press secretary bragging the Biden Admin has 50% wonen in his cabinet.

Then listed the other perverted cateGORRYies they excel in.

That’s all they care about, not ppl that can do their jobs.

Congrats Joe!

Exactly! Truly bothers me what that party can justify to
themselves.

Blacks are slowly but surely pealing away, so they had to
enhance a new class of people so the plantation could still
survive.

It’s like the old Donahue and Maury shows where they paraded freaks on set. I think that’s where the democrats get their cabinet.

That’s the most disgusting picture I’ve seen in a while. The parents on the right look like they’re putting up fake smiles.

And as far as the Jews go, it’s too bad there’s not a king Josiah in charge of the USA right now.

Yes, how true.

Reminds me of circus sideshows when I was a kid.

Sad to see them “normalized” at the top of our government

The only one not surprised I would think is God.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus.
