FCC honcho Brendan Carr accused Democrats of being engaged in nothing more than Projection and Distortion in his first remarks since the announcement of Jimmy Kimmels return to television.

Like a cornered rat. His remarks were published worldwide and his threats promised an expansion of his policy decisions.
