US Senator Ted Cruz has heavily criticized Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Brendan Carr for his handling of the suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. Cruz claimed that Carr acted like a “mafioso” in threatening ABC over Kimmel’s comments on slain conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, calling it “dangerous as hell”. The controversy started after Kimmel compared Trump’s reaction to Kirk’s death to how a child mourns the loss of a pet. Others in Congress have remained muted in their criticism, with only some Republicans expressing concern about Carr’s actions.
