On Friday, Senate Commerce Committee chair Ted Cruz, a Republican, said Carr’s threat to fine broadcasters or pull their licenses over the content of their shows was dangerous. “Good riddance to Jimmy Kimmel and his disgusting rhetoric. Ted also raises important concerns about the comments of the FCC chairman,” McCormick said. Cruz, chair of the Senate’s commerce oversight committee, said Carr’s comments were “dangerous as hell.”Carr did responded to a request for comment on Sunday. Trump, who appointed Carr, has cheered ABC’s decision to suspend the show and backed Carr’s comments.
