Ted Cruz breaks with Republicans, slams mafioso' threats to broadcasters
""That's right out of a mafioso coming into a bar going, Nice bar you have here. It would be a shame if something happened to it', Cruz said."
""We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it, Kimmel said, speaking of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson."
""We shouldn't be threatening government power to force him off air, Cruz said on his podcast."
Senator Ted Cruz criticised FCC chair Brendan Carr for threatening regulatory action against broadcasters that aired Jimmy Kimmel Live, calling the comments "dangerous as hell" and comparing them to Goodfellas. Carr's threat to fine broadcasters or revoke licences prompted ABC to suspend Kimmel and dozens of local ABC affiliates to stop airing the show. Carr reacted to Kimmel's opening monologue about the murder of Charlie Kirk and comments on Tyler Robinson and MAGA supporters. Cruz warned against using government power to silence broadcasters and portrayed his opposition as a rare GOP public rebuke, reflecting bipartisan concern over threats to free speech.
