A former Verizon lawyer received unanimous Senate support for an FCC position back when Obama was president. That's what set this all up, I blame both parties for exactly what they did.
You can't put industry insiders into top regulatory positions of the very industries they work for, you have to be a drooling moron to not see why that's a bad idea, much less unethical. The fact that both parties are okay with it should speak volumes.
