Brendan Carr, the current chair of the FCC, once defended political satire and late-night comedians from government censorship, a position in direct contrast to his more recent actions regarding late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.
- In February 2020, Carr, then an FCC commissioner, took to social media to defend political satire as an important form of free speech.
