J.D. Vance (R-OH) separated himself from his Republican colleagues by expressing his support for Federal Trade Commission Chairwoman Lina Khan, whose approach to antitrust has been criticized by the GOP.<\/p>\n<p> Vance appeared at RemedyFest, an antitrust conference organized by Y Combinator and Bloomberg, on Tuesday alongside Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Khan. There, he spoke out in favor of Khan, who has been the target of Republicans over her\u00a0abandonment\u00a0of the consumer welfare standard that guided U.S. antitrust policy for decades in favor of a much more skeptical approach that also considers other factors, such as corporate concentration and income inequality. <\/p>\n<p> \u201cA lot of my Republican colleagues look at [Khan] \u2026 and they say, \u2018[Khan] is engaged in some sort of fundamentally evil thing,&#8217;\u201d Vance told attendees. \u201cI guess I look at Lina Khan as one of the few people in the Biden administration who I think is doing a pretty good job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Vance made news on Friday when he posted on X that he wanted to break up Google after its generative AI model mixed up the races of historical figures. \u201cLong overdue, but it\u2019s time to break Google up,\u201d the Ohio Republican wrote. \u201cThis matters far more than any other election integrity issue. The monopolistic control of information in our society resides with an explicitly progressive technology company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/p>\n<p> Khan has aggressively sought to regulate mergers and acquisitions. In some cases, she attempted to block major company mergers, such as Microsoft\u2019s purchase of\u00a0Call of Duty\u00a0developer Activision Blizzard and Meta\u2019s acquisition of the VR fitness app developer Within, only for her cases to fail in court.<\/p>\n<p> House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) have both focused on Khan in the last year, sending several subpoenas to acquire information about the agency\u2019s practices and inquiring about her plans and interactions with the European Union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
