Congressional Democratic leaders called for Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr to resign “immediately” in a statement Thursday morning, after Disney indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show.

In a joint statement, signed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Whip Katherine Clark (Mass.), Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (Calif.) and other Democratic leaders, the group said Carr had engaged in “the corrupt abuse of power” by “forcing” ABC to “bend the knee” to President Donald Trump in canceling Kimmel’s show.
