[Breitbart] President Joe Biden’s radical, pro-censorship Federal Communications Committee (FCC) nominee Gigi Sohn praised an anti-police billionaire-backed dark money group in July 2020 — at the height of the Black Lives Matter “protests” in Portland.
Sohn, whom Biden selected as his nominee for FCC commissioner to have jurisdiction over Internet and telecoms policy — as the administration has been determined to appoint partisan leftists to critical positions in the federal bureaucracy — hosted a podcast, Tech on the Rock, with the earliest episodes starting in March 2020 and continuing to March 2021.
During her July 5, 2020 podcast, Sohn hosted Color Of Change senior campaign manager Brandi Collins-Dexter, where she said it is “one of a number of newer tech-savvy civil rights organizations” and noted that she “admire[s]” the group, and “love[s] supporting” them because she finds the “progress” they are making “wonderful,” such as the “headlines of everything that is important right now.”
“It’s critical to support groups like Color of Change, the NAACP Legal and Defense Fund, the ACLU, and others who’re helping to protect us all from these ubiquitous spying technologies,” she stated.
She claimed that federal and local law enforcement agencies use modern law enforcement technologies to spy on civil rights leaders. Sohn added that the “amount of data that is being gathered about you at any given time in public places is both astounding and incredibly frightening” and that date gathering it “tenfold for communities of color.”
However, Color Of Change is a 501c4 co-founded in 2005 by Van Jones, who worked in the Obama administration as the “green jobs czar,” and current day CNN contributor and the former director of grassroots mobilization MoveOn.org, James Rucker. The organization has a history of anti-police rhetoric and is a portfolio organization of the Democracy Alliance, a secretive group of top liberal donors that bankrolls left-wing causes and organizations, according to a 2021 archived version of the group’s website.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, Democracy Alliance is a “secretive group of top liberal donors” who “budgeted $275 million to be injected into progressive infrastructure leading up to the 2020 elections.” Since its founding, the group had been “pivotal in helping bankroll left-wing causes and organizations.”
But, in June 2020, before Sohn’s comments about Color Of Change, the group praised Minneapolis for its efforts to “disband police” and called policing “a violent institution that must end” in a press release in June 2020 titled Minneapolis‘ Commitment to Disband Police A Historic Moment for Our Country.
This revelation comes towards the end of Sohn’s nomination process as she is waiting to be voted on by the Senate.
The FCC has played an increasingly significant role in the federal government, having jurisdiction over the Internet and telecoms policy. For instance, Trump used the FCC to fight back against Big Tech censorship during his administration.
As Breitbart News previously reported, Sohn having a track record of partisan, pro-censorship statements and ties to radical, far-left activists when she would be in a position of influence over cable and satellite providers creates a problem for policy-making:
[Breitbart] Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Friday blasted President Joe Biden and his administration for having created the record-high inflation and gas prices across the United States.
Jordan told Fox Business Network’s "Varney & Company" that he was not as surprised as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she was that inflation followed the "crazy" spending, paying people not to work and doing away with energy independence. He suggested it was "intentional" by the White House.
"As you know and your viewers know, inflation is the worst tax possible on American families," Jordan lamented. "So, this is real. I think there are like eight states where it’s already over $5 a gallon. Ohio is on the way there, unfortunately. And we shouldn’t be surprised. I heard when Janet Yellen said she was surprised about how the inflation — I mean, come on, you spend like crazy, you pay people not to work, and you drive up the cost of energy, and somehow you are surprised we’ve got inflation. I don’t think she’s that stupid. So, part of me says this is intentional, and we started to kind of hear that from Joe Biden. Well, this is a transition period we’ve got to go through. No, it isn’t."
"If we would do the right kind of energy policies like we had under President Trump, we wouldn’t have this ridiculous high price for a gallon of gasoline," he concluded.

I suspect it after the Shellacking they are projected to get in November.
I'm skeptical. Everyone thought Trump would win in 2020 but didn't anticipate widespread cheating. Even the Democrats had to stop the counting so they could bring in pallets of ballots once they realised the Dominion and mules weren't enough.

I suspect there are a large number of liberals pretending to be conservatives in the GOP primaries this summer and i hope the voters are able to spot them before they get into office.
