Jimmy Kimmel made controversial remarks about the murder of Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist, on his late-night show. He criticized supporters of President Trump for trying to deny that the shooter was one of their own, accusing them of political opportunism. Kimmel also mocked President Trump's mourning of Kirk, comparing it to "how a toddler mourns a pet goldfish" rather than the mature grief of a friend. These comments led ABC to suspend "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" indefinitely due to backlash against his statements.
