Donald Trump and the Republican Party won’t need US Senate approval to destroy net neutrality in America.
While Trump has signed a flurry of executive actions this week, the media have largely ignored Trump’s appointment of Ajit Pai to chair the Federal Communications Commission.
And because Pai is already a member of the FCC, he won’t need Senate approval for his new position.
Pai is a staunch opponent of FCC regulations.
He recently spoke at the Free State Foundation about removing so-called “unnecessary” regulations, declaring that “We need to fire up the weed whacker and remove those rules that are holding back investment, innovation, and job creation.”
