我要评论Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai was set to give a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland Friday afternoon, but instead the organization surprised him with a "Courage Under Fire" award for standing up to net neutrality supporters.。
Pai introduced a repeal to the net neutrality regulations brought in during the Obama administration. The FCC voted 3-2 to repeal the rules last year and on April 23 it will be officially dead, barring any successful legal challenges. 。

To achieve his dream of demolishing fair and free access to the internet, Pai had to endure angry internet crusaders. 。

Schneider detailed death threats, property invasions, and abuse targeted at Pai's family all so Pai could "save the internet." 。
For his efforts, the NRA brought its 2nd vice president Carolyn Meadows to present Pai with the Charlton Heston Courage Under Fire Award. This is a special award for "when someone has stood up under pressure with grace and dignity and principled discipline," she explained. 。
Pai joins the esteemed ranks of Rush Limbaugh, Vice President Mike Pence, and Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke in receiving the award. 。
The award itself couldn't be brought to the stage -- that's because it's a handmade Kentucky long gun kept in a museum with a plaque. "You'll love it," Meadows told Pai. 。
Pai seemed bummed that he didn't get a chance to talk about the FCC and handing the internet over to corporate service providers. But after during a FCC panel with his fellow commissioners he was able to share some of his thoughts, including his initial reaction to receiving a rifle for killing the internet: "I wasn't expecting it." 。
