“NBC refused to air my Olympics ad with @EnesFreedom unless we censor U.S. corporate logos of the Genocide Games sponsors. We won’t let them silence us.”
Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) claimed that NBC has refused to air an ad he made with rising basketball star Enes Kanter, encouraging people to boycott Chinese products and to tune out of the 2022 Beijing Olympics in protest.
"NBC refused to air my Olympics ad with @EnesFreedom unless we censor U.S. corporate logos of the Genocide Games sponsors. We won’t let them silence us. Here’s the ad that NBC and the Chinese Communist Party doesn’t want you to see," tweeted Rep. Waltz on Saturday.

"American companies are drunk on Chinese dollars, entangled with communist dictators committing atrocities, and propping up these genocide games staged by the Chinese Communist Party," he continues.
"And what can we do?"
Kanter enters the frame and said, "Stand for freedom. Defund the dictators. When you see 'made in China.'"
The camera cuts back to Rep. Waltz for the conclusion of the video: "Put it down."
Kanter has been a famous voice speaking out against the Chinese regime, and defending the oppressed Uighur population which is considered to be undergoing genocide by much of the world currently. Kanter considers them to be his Muslim brothers in distress.
Many countries such as the US, Canada and now even India, have enacted diplomatic boycotts of the games.
