Brendan Carr, a commissioner with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), stated that Vice-President Kamala Harris's appearance on Saturday Night Live violates equal time rules for political programming.
The Equal Time rule, designed to prevent biased influence by broadcasters during elections, requires equal opportunities for opposing candidates, which Harris's SNL appearance potentially circumvents.
Harris's sketch on SNL, alongside Maya Rudolph, critiqued Donald Trump while simultaneously raising questions about adherence to FCC guidelines on providing equal airtime.
The FCC commissioner expressed concern that Harris's appearance on the show showcases partisan conduct by given broadcasters, impeding fair competition ahead of elections.
