Did Brendan Carr accuse James Talarico of running a hoax?
Carr did make that accusation. He publicly claimed Talarico was running a "hoax" over the Kimmel interview, which was posted to YouTube instead of airing on ABC due to the FCC's tightened enforcement of the equal time rule [1]. That YouTube posting itself stemmed from Kimmel's team pulling the interview from broadcast after pressure from Carr's FCC [6].
