jimmy kimmel comments

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended indefinitely by ABC after making controversial comments about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during his late-night monologue. Kimmel accused supporters of former President Trump (referred to as the "MAGA gang") of trying to politically exploit Kirk's death and misrepresent the alleged shooter's political affiliations. He also mocked Trump's response, saying it resembled how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish. The Federal Communications Commission chairman called Kimmel's remarks "truly sick," and several ABC-affiliated stations pulled the show from their lineups. The suspension has sparked a debate on free speech, with many late-night hosts supporting Kimmel and conservatives criticizing his comments. Former President Trump praised ABC's decision and criticized other late-night hosts.
