Jimmy Kimmel made controversial comments about Charlie Kirk after Kirk was fatally shot. On his late-night show, Kimmel accused the "MAGA gang" and allies of former President Donald Trump of trying to exploit Kirk's murder for political gain. He suggested the shooter was associated with pro-Trump Republicans and criticized the handling of Kirk's death by Trump's supporters. Kimmel also mocked Trump's reaction to Kirk's assassination, comparing it to a child's grief over a goldfish. These remarks caused significant backlash, leading ABC to suspend "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" indefinitely. The suspension followed criticism from various quarters, including the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, who called Kimmel's comments offensive and warned of potential regulatory consequences. Network affiliates also resisted airing the show due to the remarks, labeling them insensitive during a sensitive time in national political discourse.
