Ted Cruz compares Trump's FCC Chair's threats to ABC as mob tactics. "Dangerous as Hell".

No. He just got re-elected. He is safe for longer than Trump will be in office (an indication Cruz thinks the 22nd prevails). Maybe even longer than he will be alive.

He is playing the long game.
 
Heidi is in for more abuse!
 
Ted’s got this exactly right.
Hard to imagine.
 
I think Cruz might be the only one to think about what this could mean for shows like Faux, Newsmax, or whatever shows they have out there, in the future.

This comes as no surprise. more Republicans in Congress will join will critical of a Republican President attacking free speech.

CNN reports, "GOP Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday denounced Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr’s threats to pull ABC’s broadcast license as “unbelievably dangerous” and compared some of his rhetoric to “mafioso” tactics.

"In an episode of his podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” released on Friday, the Texas Republican said he was “thrilled” Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air by ABC over his comments about conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. But he said he strongly disagreed with the government policing speech, asserting it could come back to bite conservatives when Democrats retake power.

“I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said. I am thrilled that he was fired,” Cruz said. “But let me tell you: If the government gets in the business of saying, ‘We don’t like what you, the media, have said. We’re going to ban you from the airwaves if you don’t say what we like,’ that will end up bad for conservatives.”

In essence, that is exactly what Trump has been saying.
 
Ben Shapiro got this right too. Kudos to them both.

Mob bosses don’t force states like Texas to draw a new map, or Missouri this week.

Mob bosses don’t have a deputy chief of staff Miller planning current and future invasions of blue

Mob bosses don’t have a terrified GOP Senate and House.
Mob bosses don’t sell weapons for peace to both sides across the planet.
Mob bosses don’t toss out his mental terrorism every day.
