Having already boycotted DirecTV for canceling OAN one year ago, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is urging his supporters to follow his lead after DirecTV’s “censoring” Newsmax this week.
“I would cancel @DIRECTV for censoring @NEWSMAX but I already canceled them for canceling @OANN,” Paul tweeted Thursday. “I guess @DIRECTV doesn’t want conservative viewers so maybe we should all just quit their services and go elsewhere.”
DirecTV said it was taking the step as a “cost-cutting” measure — a similar claim made after it deplatformed OAN last year.
