Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai appeared Wednesday in a video promoting his impending net neutrality repeal, dancing with a woman who has a history of promoting the so-called "Pizzagate" conspiracy.

The baseless Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which proliferated during the final days of the 2016 presidential race, posits without evidence that high-ranking Democrats were involved in a nonexistent pedophile ring based out of a Washington, D.C. pizzeria. In December 2016, a man motivated by the conspiracy theory fired a gun in the business.

The video, produced by the conservative Daily Caller, features Pai insisting that the FCC's impending, highly criticized repeal of net neutrality will not affect what users can do online.

In one clip, Pai is seen dancing alongside Martina Markota, a video producer for The Daily Caller.

4. Do you want to know who said that he would recommend him and would be just a fine and

dandy individual or do you want to know who appointed him?

[Steerpike]

This hits too close to home...as we appear to be entering the era of "Controlled Information"

7. Well, it was Barack Obama that appointed him to a Commissioner spot

And it was Trump that elevated him to Chairman.

15. And Obama could only make 3 out of 5 appointees Dems

3. Okay, I'm convinced. This vote has the same agenda as the one that blocked out

the Fairness Doctrine.

The Fairness Doctrine allowed conservative media to take off like the Dunwitch Horror, without balance. And knocking out net neutrality will allow Republican friendly ISP's to cut down on Liberal voices on the internet.

Feel so strongly about this, I'm starting my own thread.

9. Sometimes I think people don't realize

just how critical this move is...if this passes you may not even be able to access DU online. They will be able to kill websites and let others succeed based solely on money and politics...
