I looked up the background of Brendan Carr, the latest murderer of free speech. He seems to think that as Trump’s Commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission he is a fit judge of what is “in the public interest.” So critics of Trumpism on the air-waves had better shut up or get out.
Carr was a factotum at the reactionary Heritage Foundation, contributed to its Project 2025, the plan for the ongoing right-wing coup, and, judging from his education alone (BA from Georgetown, juris doctor from Catholic University of America), I would surmise that he is one of those unsmiling, unthinking, self-righteous Catholic boys that are recruited by reactionaries because they are so obedient and so resentful of democracy. A genuine inquisitorial creep.
