President Joe Biden's candidate for the Federal Communications Commission, Gigi Sohn, has withdrawn her nomination after West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin announced he'd vote against her confirmation.
"It is a sad day for our country and our democracy when dominant industries, with assistance from unlimited dark money, get to choose their regulators.
And with the help of their friends in the Senate, the powerful cable and media companies have done just that," Sohn wrote.
Sohn was withdrawing her nomination after Manchin announced he would oppose her confirmation, citing what "her years of partisan activism, inflammatory statements online, and partisan alliances with far-left groups."
Everyone is claiming the Democracy cause when they get denied for something.
Just a thought.
