He wound up in basically exactly the Kobayashi Maru scenario, and they give him an especially hard time for it, since he's a Klingon. "I would have thought if anyone could beat it, it would have been you, Mr. Worf."
He insists it's not his fault, because Star Fleet training says he should accept the no-win scenario

It looks just like the Tik Tok ban to me. Racist/Nationalist nonsense that doesn't solve the actual underlying problem, which is lack of regulation in the US
The motion passed 3-2 along party lines, though without the support of the community, as the meeting was attended by dozens of civilians who unanimously spoke in support of Lewis.
Francis called the comments "an embarrassment to me," stating via WBRZ that Lewis "can't talk like that" because "it's way out of bounds to insult another public official." Francis did not address the governor's insult aimed at another public official.
Francis and the other Republicans also faced accusations of hypocrisy during the meeting. Foster Campbell, the other Democrat on the commission, noted that Francis once walked behind him with a sign that read "bullshit" while he was giving a speech during a PSC meeting. Both Campbell and Lewis recounted during the meeting that the Republican chosen to replace Lewis, Eric Skrmetta, is "the one commissioner who has had the most aggressive behavior at us all."
That's the republican playbook. Do everything you can to destroy the government, and then point at the rotting corpse that's left as evidence that government doesn't work
They were retroactively unconscious lol
