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.。

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. 。
