Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday said the Federal Communications Commission chairman’s threat to revoke ABC’s broadcast license over comments made by Jimmy Kimmel was “dangerous as hell” — a far more critical stance than Cruz’s Republican colleagues have taken since the late night host was booted from the air.
A free speech fracas erupted earlier this week after ABC indefinitely suspended Kimmel, hours after Carr had condemned his monologue about the man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk. On his show, Kimmel had denounced the MAGA movement for “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.”
