what did jimmy kimmel say last night

Last night, Jimmy Kimmel made controversial remarks on his show about the recent murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In his monologue, Kimmel accused supporters of former President Donald Trump, whom he called the "MAGA gang," of trying to frame the accused shooter as "anything other than one of their own" and capitalizing on Kirk's death for political gain. He criticized Trump's reaction to the tragedy and mocked the President's way of grieving, describing it as immature. These comments sparked a backlash from right-wing politicians, the FCC chair Brendan Carr, and several ABC affiliates. As a result, ABC announced it would suspend "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" indefinitely starting Wednesday after pressure from the FCC chair and the affiliates. The network and Kimmel have not issued further public statements since the suspension, which stunned the show's team and Hollywood. Other late-night hosts, including Stephen Colbert, have publicly defended Kimmel, calling the suspension censorship. This controversy revolves around Kimmel's pointed criticism of the political response to the killing rather than the killing itself. His show being pulled off the air is unprecedented for ABC and represents a significant moment in the intersection of late-night television, politics, and free speech debates.
