Rand Paul cancels DirecTV subscription after it drops OAN
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says he is canceling his subscription to DirecTV after the company announced plans to drop pro-Trump conservative cable channel One America News (OAN) from its listings.
“Why give money to people who hate us?” Paul said in a tweet sent on Monday.
DirecTV on Friday made public its plans to not renew its contract with OAN, saying it had made the decision following “a routine internal review.”
