A bill that would claw back $1.1 billion in federal funding for public broadcasting cleared the House Rules Committee, setting it up for a floor vote later this week.

The Trump administration sent a rescissions package to Congress last week that rescinded funding to foreign aid programs, along with public broadcasting. If the bill passes, it will zero out $535 million in fudning to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting over the next two fiscal years, even though it was already allocated. The CPB is the non profit corporation set up by Congress to distribute federal funding to public media stations, PBS, NPR and other entities.

It’s still unclear whether Republicans have the votes for the rescissions package to pass.

All Republicans are guilty of the evil of Trump. Never forget that and don't let them off when they try to get out of it in the future.

It's not just Republicans, and it's doing the public a great disservice to keep pushing that narrative.
