Brendan Carr was just 'waiting for the wrong move' to pull their plug on any network on the president's hit list, it was revealed on Thursday.

A source familiar with the inner workings at the Federal Communications Commission warned the Daily Mail just last month that the FCC chairman was waiting for his opportunity.

President Donald Trump was basking in the cancellation of Stephen Colbert, but knowing Carr, the source calculated last month that another scalp was coming soon. 

'I told you,' was the reply the Daily Mail received Thursday following the suspension of ABC's Jimmy Kimmel.

The final blow came from an unlikely personal alliance between Carr and far–right host Benny Johnson, who held a web–cast interview condemning Kimmel and urging ABC to fire him in the wake of Kimmel's commentary on Charlie Kirk. 

Kimmel made several comments on his show Monday and Tuesday on the conservative activist's killing, saying many Trump supporters are trying to capitalize on Kirk's death. 

'The MAGA gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,' Kimmel said.

Johnson's team called ABC, their stations, and Disney 'all day' with what he called unimaginable success. 'MAGA twitter' added fuel to the fire – helping create a simmering pressure campaign.

'We had FCC Chairman Brendan Carr on the show to announce investigations into ABC and Disney for letting Kimmel lie to millions about Charlie Kirk's assassination. Hours later, he was gone,' Johnson celebrated on Truth Social.

Carr has emerged as Trump's most powerful yet underestimated enforcer, wielding regulatory authority over America's multi–billion–dollar communications landscape. 

The 'clean–cut telecom crusader' commands what insiders call the 'MAGA ship' at the FCC.

His aggressive approach has made him both a rising star in Trump's inner circle and a lightning rod for fierce opposition. House Democrats have demanded his resignation, branding him a 'bully' whose actions constitute 'corrupt abuse of power.'
