WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr defended his recent comments pushing Disney and local broadcasters to stop airing “Jimmy Kimmel Live” 

Senate Commerce Committee Chair Ted Cruz, a Republican, said earlier Carr’s threats could one day hurt conservative media outlets if employed by a future Democratic administration. “We don’t want to see weaponization of government by any administration against any perspective — and that’s certainly not what we’re doing here,” Carr said.
