End Citizens United (ECU) President Tiffany Muller issued the following statement after Donald Trump illegally fired two Democratic commissioners at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC):
“By illegally firing independent regulators at the FTC, Donald Trump is clearing the way for corporate special interests to jack up prices, eliminate consumer protections, and crush small businesses. This is exactly why they lined up to bankroll his campaign and his inauguration. It’s a corrupt transaction that will be a boon for corporate America and a disaster for working and middle class Americans.”
