Trump puts Brendan Carr, who opposed Kamala Harris’ SNL cameo, to run the FCC

On Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump chose Brendan Carr to be the next head of the Federal Communications Commission.

Carr is the top Republican on the commission. In a Truth Social post announcing the appointment, Trump called Carr a “warrior for free speech.”

Carr got a lot of attention a few days before the election when he criticized NBC for letting Vice President Kamala Harris appear on Saturday Night Live on November 2.

He said that this was against the “equal time” rule that governs when candidates can appear on TV.

“This has all the appearances of, at least some leadership at NBC, at SNL, making clear that they wanted to weigh-in in favor of one candidate before the election,” he said then.

“NBC has structured this in a way that’s plainly designed to evade the FCC’s rules,” said Carr. “We’re talking 50 hours before Election Day starts, without any notice to other candidates, as far as I can tell.”

Then, Trump was given the same amount of time to talk to viewers directly after an NBC broadcast of a Nascar race.

Carr was put forward for the FCC during Trump’s first term in office, in 2017. The commission oversees the telecommunications industry and is made up of five people.

Reuters said that Carr has backed Elon Musk’s (a billionaire Trump supporter) efforts to get government funding for his satellite internet service.
