Sen. Cruz slams Gigi Sohn at confirmation hearing

At a Senate committee confirmation hearing for Gigi Sohn today, Senator Ted Cruz vehemently opposed her nomination saying, "She has shown herself to be a partisan who lacks the impartiality and candor necessary to serve in a leadership position at a powerful independent regulatory agency." Cruz went on to add Sohn "has repeatedly displayed bad judgment and questionable ethics."

Sohn is expecting to serve as a fifth commissioner on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after being nominated by President Biden in October 2021, when she was opposed by all Republicans and some Democrats.
