President Trump has some convincing to do in order to get his social media crackdown through the Federal Communications Commission.
Michael O'Rielly, part of the FCC's 3-2 Republican majority, says he has doubts about whether the FCC has authority to implement Trump's order regarding Twitter and other online platforms. With Republican Commissioner Brendan Carr having enthusiastically endorsed Trump's executive order and Democrats opposed to it, the views of O'Rielly and Chairman Ajit Pai will play a big role in determining the outcome.
