Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday slammed Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr’s threats to pull ABC’s broadcast license over Jimmy Kimmel’s comments on Charlie Kirk as something out of the mob movie “Goodfellas.”

ABC pulled Kimmel’s show off the air indefinitely on Wednesday over backlash to the late night host’s Monday monologue in which he claimed that the “MAGA gang” was trying to politically benefit from the murder of Kirk.

Carr recently suggested pulling ABC’s broadcasting license if the network did not take any action against Kimmel.

“Look, I like Brendan Carr, he’s a good guy, he’s the chairman of the FCC, I work closely with him. But what he said there is dangerous as hell,” Cruz said on his “Verdict” podcast. “I got to say, that’s right out of ‘Goodfellas.’ That’s right out of a mafioso coming into a bar, going, ‘Nice bar you have here, it would be a shame if something happened to it.’”
