Whenever I see an investigation such as this, I honestly don't understand. What more is to be uncovered?!

The FCC chair directly threatened ABC with either a fine or not renewing their broadcast license. ABC in turned fired Kimmel instantly. This is a clear 1st Amendment violation, the government policing speech.

I see it as being an official act on the record. It has to be recorded, and any vote afterward is also recorded with how anyone voted. It's essentially a put your money where your mouth is statement.

Republicans don't care because they have no shame

It's political theater.

To quote lowqualityfacts: "Jimmy Kimmel should have said something much less offensive during his monologue, such as advocating that we kill homeless people."

Which led to mass shootings of homeless people

And yet when it mattered, they voted to confirm the FCC chair, did they not?

Garcia is a Dem in California. So it is likely going to be a real investigation that goes absolutely nowhere (or somehow ends up even worse) because the chuds have a 6 body majority in the House.

Rep. Garcia is the Ranking Member of the committee, he's going to make it a circus and force votes

Or it will strengthen California's resolve to form a more perfect union.

California is generally considered to be 15% of the total US economy on its own.

There is zero chance that California is allowed to secede without a VERY brutal war.

Can anyone guess how this will turn out?

Yank Disney’s broadcasting rights

That's what the FCC was threatening if they didn't cancel him.

It's the Demonrats fault they don't have any power, so vote against Demonrats so they have less power. That'll show'em.

The fact that they call people demonrats is what prompted me to get a gun cos they’re just going to find ways to dehumanize anyone they don’t find as hate filled as them
