Statement of Gigi Sohn Last night after discussions with my family and careful consideration, | made the decision to ask President Biden to withdraw my nomination to the Federal Communications Commission. When | accepted his nomination over sixteen months ago, | could not have imagined that legions of cable and media industry lobbyists, their bought-and-paid-for surrogates, and dark money political groups with bottomless pockets would distort my over 30-year history as a consumer advocate into an absurd caricature of blatant lies. The unrelenting, dishonest and cruel attacks on my character and my career as an advocate for the public interest have taken an enormous toll on me and my family. Unfortunately, the American people are the real losers here.
