Rosenworcel Jokes at FCBA Chairwoman’s Dinner

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4, 2024 – The nation’s top federal communications official spoke Tuesday at an event designed to honor her accomplishments and reflect on her past year of public service.

In her last few weeks as Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman, Jessica Rosenworcel took the opportunity to joke about several topics, including the incoming Trump administration and his pick for FCC Chair, Brendan Carr.

“No one has done more than Brendan to earn the job [of FCC Chair],”  Rosenworcel joked, citing Carr’s strong relationship with tech leader Elon Musk. “In countless media appearances he has done everything in his power to curry favor with his incoming president – and Donald Trump too.”
