Spartz Issues Statement on Newsmax: Our Country is Turning into Oligarchy

Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Victoria Spartz issued the statement below on DirecTV’s recent decision to drop Newsmax.

“The issue of deplatforming Newsmax and removing other “nonconforming” accounts by large communications oligopolies is not just an issue of censorship spreading like plague in our country, but also an issue of government-created, protected, and subsidized monopolies turning us into an oligarchy,” Spartz said. “If we continue on this path, we will start resembling a totalitarian country very soon. The House Judiciary Committee, responsible for protecting our Constitutional rights, has a duty to start dealing with this issue urgently.”
