Asked three times, outgoing FTC chair inexplicably unable to name one thing she would have done differently; episode reminiscent of Vice President Harris’ infamous moment on The View that cost her dearly

WASHINGTON – In response to outgoing Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan’s exit interview on CNBC this morning, Competitiveness Coalition Chair Scott Brown issued the following statement:

“After nearly four long years doing her utmost best to destroy American innovation and being rebuked at nearly every turn by the courts, Chair Khan now can’t name one thing she would have done differently. It’s the height of arrogance and hubris that has become commonplace with the Biden-Harris Administration that was rejected by voters and can’t reach its final day soon enough. It’s incumbent on public officials to be constantly listening and learning, not thinking they are the smartest person in the room with all the answers. Thankfully a new day is dawning across the board, and at the FTC, let’s hope that means a return to the principles focused on protecting the consumer rather than waging a reckless, ideological war against the private sector.”

Since 2022, the Competitiveness Coalition has been sounding the alarm on the FTC’s egregious overreach and concerning actions. The Coalition has been especially focused on allegations of Khan’s collusion with European regulators to implement sweeping new policies on American technology companies.
