Key Highlights
- Sen.
- Ted Cruz, R-Texas, managed to roast late-night comics, Democrats and the Biden administration while scolding Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr in his remarks during a Senate Commerce Committee hearing on Wednesday.
- Cruz, who scheduled the hearing last month, grilled Carr over his push for broadcasters to take ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel off the air.
- On the heels of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Kimmel accused conservatives of reaching "new lows" in trying to pin a left-wing ideology on 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson, even though prosecutors reaffirmed those ties in an indictment.
- Appearing the next day on "The Benny Show," Carr called Kimmel's comments "some of the sickest conduct" and suggested there were potential "avenues" the FCC could pursue.
