Federal Communications Chair Brendan Carr called the millions of dollars raised after Stephen Colbert’s interview with Democratic Texas House Rep. James Talarico the result of a “hoax.”
Carr was adamant that it was not the result of Donald Trump’s FCC crackdown backfiring, after the agency allegedly pressured CBS not to air the Late Show interview, turning a run-of-the-mill late show appearance into an irresistible YouTube watch that brought Talarico roughly $2.5 million in donations.
“I think it was one of the most fun days I’ve had in the job, watching sort of the hilarity of how this story played out,” Carr insisted to reporters after an open FCC meeting on Wednesday, saying he was “highly entertained” by the saga.
