FCC Commissioner claims Harris on ‘SNL’ violates equal time rule
A member of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) says Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” commonly known as “SNL,” violates the “equal time” rule.
Commissioner Brendan Carr posted on the social platform X on Saturday saying it was a clear and blatant effort to evade the regulation and called it biased and partisan conduct.
He described it as a licensed broadcaster using the public airwaves to exert its influence for one candidate on the eve of an election.
The FCC’s “equal time” rules let rival candidates ask for equal air time.
Carr is the senior Republican on the commission who was appointed by former President Donald Trump.
During her “SNL” appearance, Harris joined comedian Maya Rudolph for a sketch.
