Jimmy Kimmel said during his Monday night show that the "MAGA gang" was trying to score political points from Charlie Kirk's killing. He criticized allies of former President Trump for attempting to portray the shooter as anything other than part of their movement and accused them of exploiting the tragedy for political gain. Kimmel also mocked the president's response to the incident, saying it resembled how "a toddler grieves for a goldfish," rather than how an adult mourns the death of a friend. These comments led to widespread backlash, including from the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission and conservative figures, and resulted in ABC suspending Kimmel's show indefinitely. President Trump and conservative media praised the suspension, while some Hollywood celebrities and free speech advocates defended Kimmel.
