Washington Examiner: Republican Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado has transformed himself from a free-market evangelist to a crusader against tech monopolies.
Buck, the top Republican on the powerful House antitrust subcommittee, has played a key role in forging a bipartisan agreement in Congress that would rein in Big Tech companies such as Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Apple.
....
Buck said he has been fortunate to be in a position of power at the right moment.
“My trajectory, a lot of it is being in the right place at the right time,” Buck told the Washington Examiner. "Because of opportunities given to me on the antitrust subcommittee, I’m trying to take advantage of that to help. But also because God is good."
He said that unlike many other members of Congress, including many Republicans who have been censored by social media giants such as Facebook and YouTube, he had no personal issues or grudges with the tech companies.
