Top Democratic leaders in Congress on Thursday called for the resignation of Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr, who pressured ABC to suspend late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel over his misleading claim about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who led the statement, accused Carr of using his “corrupt abuse of power” to bully ABC into suspending Kimmel indefinitely. For this reason, Jeffries called for Carr’s immediate resignation.
