Ted Cruz Criticizes Trump Administration's FCC Actions Against Jimmy Kimmel
Texas Senator Ted Cruz has criticized the Trump administration's attempts to pressure Disney and ABC News into firing late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. The controversy arose after FCC Chair Brendan Carr demanded ABC file for license renewals following a joke Kimmel made about President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. Cruz, who has previously defended Kimmel, stated that it is not the government's role to censor speech, expressing concern over the FCC's actions. The administration's move is seen as a response to Kimmel's satirical comments during a parody roast of the president.
