Senator Ted Cruz criticized FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's threats to revoke ABC's license, calling them "unbelievably dangerous" and reminiscent of "mafioso" tactics. While pleased with ABC pulling Jimmy Kimmel's show, Cruz warned against government speech control, fearing repercussions for conservatives when Democrats regain power. He expressed concern that such actions could lead to the silencing of conservative voices. Cruz's condemnation is notable as a strong rebuke from a fellow conservative and chair of the Senate Commerce Committee.
