Brendan Carr said the ads are “normal-course public service announcements” and nothing that would “merit any sort of” review by the Federal Communications Commission.

Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr said Wednesday that new pro-Trump TV ads paid for with government funds don’t “merit any sort of FCC review.”

“It doesn’t strike me as anything at all out of the ordinary,” Carr said of the ads, which have aired across the country in recent weeks.

Asked about allegations that the ads are “propaganda,” Carr laughed.

The White House has “explained that these are just normal-course public service announcements, PSAs, that you see all the time. I don’t think there’s anything unique or different about it,” he said at a news conference.

    Yeah whatever. They all think of themselves as former high school bullies but in reality, they’re neither smart enough nor creative enough to bully anyone. They were just the doofuses in the back going “har har yeah, what he said!” Fucking losers.

      As long as they stay in power with it and don’t face any conesquences, I fear that they are actually winning with their fascism 101.
