She’s not crusading. She’s equalizing. That’s her job.

[richardhedd]

Billionaires are spending millions trying to get rid of her. That's how good she is. Lina Khan forever.

[jer]

If rich people hate her, shes probably doing the right thing.

[SMA]

If big donors are spending money in millions to get rid of you, you know you are doing the right thing. Keep going Lina Khan. YOU KHAN

[perch]

Eight more years of FTC leadership by Chairperson Khan, please.

[drums]

There's a reason why corporations are terrified of her, and Apple wanted to ban her from interviewing with Jon Stewart. She's definitely on our side!

[devinmcmanus]

I hope the next president keeps her in this role.

Ms Khan's argument speaks volumes about why our current version of Capitalism has allowed for enormous gaps between the middle class and the wealthy, not seen since the Gilded Age.

[ataxius]

Sincerely, I believe this is the smartest and most important person alive today. We (the human race) need to throw everything we have behind her

[menschkeit]

how rare and wonderful to find the genuine article, long may she continue in her post

[tomjohnson]

Lina Khan, what a wonderful mixture of sharp intellect and charm. She must be included on the list of exemplary people that we need to return us to the regimen the framers of The Constitution intended.

[martinbishop]

Encouraging to have someone like this in charge … the general population don’t understand how valuable US antitrust law has been for US business ..

[ssudppf]

Bravo for her for standing up for what’s right. We had more Lina Khans in government consumers wouldn’t be getting destroyed on their phone bills, medical bills, college tuition, et al.

[NasimBeg]

Excellent talk. Hearing Lina Khan makes me realise how important it is to have a young person in this position, who can relate with the issues that the tech world brings and to address the challenges.

[loudboomboom]

Corporations don’t need to love the government. They need to play by the rules and compete for customers.

[AmirGTR]

She's legit. Literally my age and running the FTC better than anyone in like a 100 years.

[mnks]

I didn't remember the last time a government official spoke so eloquently in a vast span of issues, and had a thorough answer to every questions. I like her.

[edwardfeldkamp]

Khan is a great women doing the RIGHT thing

[Livin-In-a-Box]

I like how her opening rhetoric was relevant to WSJ's business model.

[eugeniebreida]

I have found this via Senator Bernie Sanders’ contemporaneous interview of this courageous and brilliant Fed Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan. And I’m not the least disappointed, now hearing even more from her.

Bravo Lina! Protect our persons/communities/pocket books - we’ve been waiting for, and now support you wholeheartedly.
