Sen. Ted Cruz sought to burn so-called “snowflakes” Thursday, mocking the Internet outrage over the Federal Communications Commission’s vote to repeal the so-called “net neutrality” regulations of the Obama era.
Using a slang label for people who take offense easily to a lack of political correctness, the Texas Republican indicated that the backlash to Thursday’s decision was due in part to people’s lack of understanding of a complicated technology issue.
“Snowflake, believing online propaganda: ‘OMG w/o net neutrality, the Internet is gone!'” Cruz began.
“Informed observer: ‘You know, the FCC issued that rule in 2015. The Internet grew up wonderfully free from govt regulation & this restores the status quo ante,'” he added, echoing a rationale for the repeal favored by FCC Chairman Ajit Pai.
“Snowflake: ‘Uh, never mind…'” Cruz concluded.
