Democrats trying to turn FCC 'into an arm of the DNC,' commissioner warns

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr blasted the congressional Democrats’ attempt to pressure the commission into blocking the sale of a Spanish-speaking radio station in Miami, Florida, saying the move was politically-based in a statement released Wednesday.

He also warned the move by the Democrats crosses a constitutional line and would weaponize the FCC for the DNC. "Democrats in Congress are pressuring the FCC to block the sale of a radio station based on the political viewpoints it would broadcast to South Florida’s Hispanic community," Carr wrote in a tweet accompanying the release. "This crosses a clear line drawn by the First Amendment and would turn the FCC into an arm of the DNC."
