why did jimmy kimmel get pulled off the air

Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air indefinitely by ABC due to controversial comments he made about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. During his monologue, Kimmel accused supporters of former President Trump (referred to as "MAGA gang") of trying to exploit Kirk's death for political gain and criticized the political response to the incident, which was seen as offensive and insensitive by many, including the network's affiliates and the chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This led to Nexstar (a major ABC affiliate group) deciding not to air the show and FCC threats against Disney's ABC. Former President Trump publicly celebrated the suspension, further fueling the controversy. ABC confirmed the indefinite suspension shortly after the backlash grew. Kimmel's show has been preempted starting Wednesday following these events.
