After failing to kill the FCC nomination of Gigi Sohn because she'd be too tough on business, opponents have turned to smearing her with homophobic lies.
, the telecommunications industry’s opposition to Sohn’s was based on her superb qualifications and her record as a consumer advocate. She was a top aide to former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler during the Obama administration, when the agency took a distinctly pro-consumer stance.
He wrote in favor of Sohn’s confirmation in November 2021, noting that although he and Sohn hold diametrically opposing political views, “I trust Gigi to get it right when it comes to protecting my freedom of speech.”in support of Sohn’s confirmation, stating that Sohn “believes in the First Amendment and the advantages of a strong and open media for the benefit of our democracy.”

The right-wing attack on Sohn leans heavily on the prurient elements of sex work generally and Blunt particularly. In nearly identical phrasing, Breitbart and the Daily Mail noted that Blunt “boasts about urinating on people’s faces.”
