Republican senator blasts FCC chair’s comments on Kimmel — ‘Absolutely inappropriate’
senator Rand Paul has become another name of the Republican Party, retreating from the statements of the Supreme Federal Organization on comedian Jimmy Kimmel and the media.
In an interview on NBC’s Meet the press with Christine Wilker On Sunday, Kentucky Republics were asked about the comment of the head of the Federal Communications Committee, Brendan Carr, that “we can do this in an easy way or in the difficult way” when it comes to companies that take action against Kimmel.
“Not appropriate,” Paul answered. “Brendan Car did not have any heavy work. But people also have to realize that vigilance comments have the right to say. But you don’t have the right to employ.”
During his presentation late at night, Kimmel criticized what he called the “Maga gang” because of “a desperate attempt to describe this child who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and made everything in his power to score political points from him.”
The NexStar Media Group, which has 32 ABC stations and continues to integrate $ 6.2 billion with Tegna, which requires the approval of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC), has announced that it will exclude the offer “in the foreseeable future”. Sinclair Broadcasting, the largest ABC group in the country, has also removed the offer and Kimmel apologized to the Kirk family.
The Disney -owned ABC said it was excluding the Kimmel offer indefinitely, which led to another violent reaction between the angry people that the media giant had taken pressure.
On Sunday, Paul noted that most employers have a behavior code that can lead to separation when employees violate it. But this is a work decision that should not include the Federal Communications Committee.
“I mean, this is TV, for good.” But the government has not done any work in it. The Federal Communications Committee was into consideration. I will fight any attempt by the government to participate in speech, and I will fight. ”
Paul’s comments from the Republican Senator in Texas Ted Cruz, who said he hates what Kimmel said but also resembles Car’s threat to something “Maviuu” he will say.
In an episode of his pod on Friday, Cruz, similarly, warned of the government’s interference in freedom of expression and called Kar notes as “dangerous like hell.”
Cruz added: “I think it is incredibly dangerous for the government to put itself in the position of saying:” We will decide the words that we love and what we do not do, and we will aim to get you out of the air if we do not like what it says. ”
President Donald Trump, who said that the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) can reconsider the licenses of broadcasters who criticize him over and over again, and called an American national car in response to Cruz’s comments, adding that he does not agree to the Senator.
But Cruz and Paul are not the only conservatives who raise warnings about freedom of expression. Political commentator Taker Karlson also said he hoped Kirk will kill “” The laws of hate speech will not be used to this country. ”
Other Republicans are certainly expressed their support for FCC or reduced the importance of the first amendment. On Friday, Representative Chip Roy (R-TEXAS) NBC reported that the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) is right to question broadcasting networks regarding its licenses.
The Senator Sinatia Lomes told R-WYO Semafor On Thursday, the license to broadcast by the Federal Communications Committee is a privilege, not really.
She said: “In normal times, in normal circumstances, I tend to believe that the first amendment must always be a kind of final right. And that there should be no almost tests and balances.” “I no longer feel this way. I feel something culturally changed. I think there should be some awareness that changed things.”
