Pai Aide Knocks Democrats for Being 'Stuck in Past'; Clyburn Aide Cites Innovation Record

Matthew Berry, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's chief of staff, criticized Democrats for opposing some items the agency adopted at Thursday's commissioners' meeting. The meeting "revealed contrast between a majority looking to the future, and a minority that is stuck in the past and trying to strangle technological innovation. The good news is that progress prevailed," he tweeted, which Pai "liked." A spokesman for Commissioner Mignon Clyburn said Friday in response that "Clyburn’s record on enabling opportunities and spurring innovation for businesses and in communities large and small speaks for itself.” The office of Jessica Rosenworcel didn't comment.
