Federal Communications Commission Chairman\u00a0Brendan Carr<\/a>\u00a0will appear before the Senate Commerce committee on Wednesday to discuss his push for broadcasters to take ABC\u2019s Jimmy Kimmel off the air.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Carr will appear alongside the FCC\u2019s two other commissioners, Olivia Trusty and Anna M. Gomez. In September, Carr issued a veiled threat against ABC and Disney, suggesting he would take action over controversial comments made by the late-night host about the alleged Charlie Kirk assassin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Committee chair Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who scheduled the hearing last month, criticized Carr\u2019s comments at the time, suggesting he sounded like an organized crime boss.\u00a0<\/p>\n

FCC CHAIR LEVELS THREAT AGAINST ABC, DISNEY AFTER KIMMEL SUGGESTED CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSIN WAS \u2018MAGA\u2019<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said at the time. “These companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or, you know, there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”<\/p>\n

“I think it is unbelievably dangerous for government to put itself in the position of saying we\u2019re going to decide what speech we like and what we don\u2019t, and we\u2019re going to threaten to take you off air if we don\u2019t like what you\u2019re saying,” Cruz said on his podcast.<\/p>\n

Kimmel’s suspension over his remarks suggesting Kirk’s alleged killer was a MAGA supporter was brief; he returned to the air the following week and is now signed with Disney through 2027.<\/p>\n

Carr has developed a reputation as working in line with the Trump administration on its aggressive stance toward media companies, launching investigations into ABC News, CBS News and NBC News, as well as NPR and PBS.<\/p>\n

This is a developing story, more to come\u2026\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
