This week, House Democrats blocked my attempt to bring transparency to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). We deserve to know whether, and how, politicians and unelected bureaucrats are wielding political influence to shield the public from hearing conservative thought. That’s why I introduced a Resolution of Inquiry, which was marked-up in the Energy and Commerce Committee this week. My resolution would have forced the FCC to disclose any documents that detail politically motivated censorship, whether it be de-platforming conservative channels like Fox, Newsmax, and OAN or labeling Republican’s social media accounts as “misinformation” simply because they do not align with a liberal world view. Every single committee Democrat voted no. They are keeping information out of the hands of the American people – information we deserve to have. What do they have against transparency? What do they have to hide? Free speech is a First Amendment right for a reason. Without it, we don’t have a democracy. Unfortunately, the left is waging a war on our right to free speech. If Democrats won’t bring transparency to the FCC, then I’m bringing the receipts. Here are just some of the attempts they’ve made to censor speech this Congress:
The list goes on. We aren’t just theorizing that political censorship exists, we know that it does. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, but Washington Democrats refuse to let it in. |
