Senate Confirms Radical Censor Alvaro Bedoya for FTC

The Senate voted on Wednesday to confirm Alvaro Bedoya for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) – a person who has condemned Breitbart News, called Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) a “swamp dweller,” and called for an advertiser boycott of Fox News Channel.

The Senate voted 51-50 to confirm Bedoya, with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking the tie. The Senate vote had been delayed after some Democrat senators contracted the coronavirus.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that confirming Bedoya would give Democrats a majority at the FTC, which would allow for the FTC Democrats to investigate alleged price gouging by “Big Oil.”
