If John Thune doesn't want Gigi Sohn at FCC that means she should be there

South Dakota's senior US Senator conspired with Mark Zuckerberg and Robert Mercer to hijack the 2016 election for Donald Trump

Senator John Thune (earth hater-SD) went to DC as one of America's least wealthy politicians but after nearly two decades in the swamp and helping to pack the Federal Communications Commission with Trump stooges he's rich.
In return, the gatekeepers of the internet that have spent freely to lobby lawmakers like Sen. John Thune — whose PAC and campaign have received $366,000 in telecom contributions since 2013 — promise consumers transparency when they roll out new plans that offer various levels of service at different price points. The end of net neutrality will affect every American and should not be neutralized without a public debate.  [Rapid City Journal]
That's right: the vast white-wing conspiracy was going to beat Hillary Clinton at any cost even if it meant colluding with a sworn enemy of the United States, destroying the presidency and taking down the republic.
Donald Trump's first year in office was a big boon for the predatory companies that bring the internet into our homes and onto our cell phones, commonly referred to as Internet Service Providers or ISPs. Trump and the GOP saw to that in December 2017, with help from former Verizon attorney Ajit Pai, who Trump elevated to chairman of the FCC. Now the grim age of Trump and Pai are behind us, and President Biden has appointed Gigi Sohn to the FCC to clean up Trump's mess. She's an open advocate for "net neutrality," the law before Trump came into office, that requires ISPs to treat all internet traffic the same.

The paper trail is clear — John Thune made Congress look the other way as Russia infiltrated Facebook.

America needs Gigi Sohn at the FCC.
