A former counselor to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman under President Obama on Thursday said that Americans will “resuscitate” a net neutrality bill that Republicans have declared “dead on arrival” in the Senate.

“I just have to push back a little bit on this [claim the bill] doesn’t have a chance in the Senate,” Gigi Sohn, a Benton senior fellow and public advocate, told Hill.TV’s Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton on “Rising.”

“I know what Leader McConnell said — I believe the American people will resuscitate the dead on arrival bill,” she continued, referring to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

“What you must understand is that there is litigation going on right now to challenge the 2018 repeal,” she said, referring to a case that is challenging the decision to end the Obama-era rules on net neutrality.
