Jimmy Kimmel was suspended indefinitely from his ABC late-night talk show after making controversial comments about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. During his monologue, Kimmel accused Donald Trump and his allies, calling them the "MAGA gang," of trying to portray the shooter as anything other than one of their own and leveraging the tragedy for political gain. He also mocked the president's response to the shooting, comparing it to a child grieving a goldfish. These remarks sparked backlash from right-wing politicians and broadcasters, leading to calls from the Federal Communications Commission, chaired by a Trump appointee, for action against Kimmel. Following this, Nexstar Media stopped airing his show, and ABC suspended it indefinitely. The suspension has ignited a debate on free speech and censorship in the U.S., with former President Trump praising the decision and some Democrats criticizing it as an attack on free expression.
