Protest Disrupts First FCC Meeting Since Kimmel Suspension

A group of protesters exercised their freedom of speech directly at FCC Chairman Brendan Carr on Tuesday.

Members of Our Revolution — a political action committee started by Bernie Sanders in 2016 for his first presidential run — staged a disruption inside the Federal Communications Commissions first open meeting since Carr controversially ( and illegally ) pushed ABC affiliates to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this month.

An email went out on Tuesday morning stating that Our Revolution, along with Public Citizen and Free Press, is “staging an action and disruption inside the FCC’s open meeting, demanding Commissioner Brendan Carr resign for enabling Trump’s censorship agenda, greenlighting dangerous media consolidation, and serving the interests of billionaire oligarchs.”
