WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is calling for changes to the legal system to better protect consumers from government censorship, a move that comes weeks after he criticized the Trump administration’s push to have late-night host Jimmy Kimmel taken off the air.
Cruz plans to introduce a bill in the coming weeks that would codify protections against government-driven censorship, and make it easier for consumers to win monetary damages in lawsuits, he said in an interview. Cruz, the head of the Senate Commerce Committee, said he also plans to focus on the topic in a series of hearings that are expected to include Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr.
