Civil rights groups outraged after Gigi Sohn withdraws FCC nomination: ‘Sad, shoddy, and shameful’
Fox News
President Biden's choice for an open FCC seat, Gigi Sohn, withdrew her nomination on Tuesday while citing "unrelenting, dishonest and cruel attacks" during the confirmation process.
The former Democratic FCC staffer would have been the first openly gay commissioner in the regulatory body’s history. However, her past far-left provocations, including showing support for the Defund the Police movement and criticism of right-wing figures, made all Republican senators and even some Democrats uneasy over her apparent bias. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
Yvette Scorse, communications director of the National Digital Inclusion Alliance, blamed anti-LGBTQ bias as the driving force behind her withdrawal.
