After opposition from Democratic members of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), concerning the merger of Sirius (NASDAQ:SIRI) and XM (NASDAQ:XMSR), Howard Stern said he'll never vote for a Democrat for the rest of his life.
At this time the makeup of the five-member panel of the FCC is two Democrats and three Republicans.
Stern said concerning the Democratic opposition:
“I go, ‘That’s it!’” Stern said. “[I] go, ... I’ve voted Republican and I’ve voted Democrat. I have vowed I will never vote for a Democrat again. I don’t give a [expletive] – no matter who they are. I don’t care if God becomes a Democrat.’ I said, ‘I backed Hillary Clinton, I backed Al Gore, I backed John Kerry. I am done with them.’”
Stern wasn't through though, as he went on to assert that it was a "fact that these Democrats on the FCC are communists. They’re for communism. They don’t want to see companies – this is gangsterism. I said, ‘This is crazy.’”
After all was said and done, the merger was approved, and it was at that time that Stern started his comments.
