Jimmy Kimmel made controversial remarks about Charlie Kirk following Kirk's assassination. Kimmel accused the MAGA movement of trying to gain political leverage from Kirk's murder, saying they were attempting to paint the killer as anything but one of their own. He criticized President Trump's response, mocking how Trump mourned Kirk by comparing it to how "a four-year-old mourns a pet goldfish" and sarcastically calling it the "fourth stage of grief: construction," referencing Trump's comments about ongoing renovations at the White House. These remarks sparked backlash, leading to ABC suspending Kimmel's show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" indefinitely.
