There is no world in which this means anything OTHER than Jimmy is saying that the shooter was in fact 'one of them'.


You left out bolding the relevant first part of the quote. He didn’t say the shooter was MAGA, he described the MAGA reaction immediately following the shooting.

Never said it was fine or good. It’s just an observation that there were no free speech concerns over the last 5 years and all of a sudden it’s a problem because it’s happening to the left.

He did, but its a moot point either way. He was bitching about the right trying to do something for political points. Which is exactly what he was doing.

He already addressed the Charlie Kirk thing earlier and gave his condolences. He didnt need to even bring it up again but he couldnt help himself from turning it political.

"You people" is how black nationalists and black panthers talk and think - a separatist mindset.

You have the same mindset about political parties, which is delusional.

He did.

Again, there’s no point in saying that MAGA is desperately trying to characterize “the kid” as anything other than one of them.

Because there’s no need for them to do that, it was plain to see he wasn’t.

But plant your flag there & be seen as a fool.

I didn’t know Ross Perot was a black nationalist or a black panther.

What you're describing, too, is juvenile and retarded and also needs to stop.

This whole thing is ridiculous. Anyone with 1/2 a brain knows what he was doing. He absolutely took the guy’s death as a way to blame MAGA.

Anyone arguing this basic, and obvious point, is a fool. You CAN argue whether he should have been taken off the air by ABC, but to argue his intentions, is stupid and foolish.

Funny how the same people who claim Jimmy didn’t accuse the shooter of being MAGA are also the ones who don’t know what a woman is.

* or they act all surprised when people get angry at men participating in a woman’s sports.

What you’re missing is that this IS the pendulum swinging back. This is exactly what the right was saying for the last 10 years and the left laughed. This is the shoe on the other foot. Where was your handwringing when Fox canned Carlson for J6 comments?

This is why I do not give a single frick about any of the arguments put forth by people trying to defend Kimmel.

Gina Carano, Roseanne, Tucker Carlson, The Tea Party having the IRS shoved up their arse by Obama, some poor bastard thrown in jail because he put tire marks on a rainbow crosswalk... None of the ones crying for Kimmel did anything but laugh at all of those people. So please spare us all the feigned righteous indignation over Jimmy "Blackface" Kimmel.

It's a good point that there are a lot people just trying to work that get in the crossfire when shite like this happens.

Maybe ABC will try and run the show with guest hosts.

I doubt Kimmel does what Conan did. In 2007, during the WGA strike, Conan paid his staff out of pocket; in 2010, when he was let go, he covered 6 weeks worth of severance for 50 stage hands (who were not entitled to severance).

I'll see if Kimmel helps his staff out during all this with his fortune or not; it wouldn't excuse his words but it would be a good gesture all the same.

That is not what was said though. He never said if the kid was MAGA or not, he commented on the reactions of people before they knew who he even was.

I don’t care if people are watching Kimmel and I don’t care if he has a show or not. I do care that the government via the FCC is putting pressure to silence someone over their opinions

Why don't you post Kimmel's comment and then try again?

You have zero proof of this.

Nexstar own the hill and newsnation among other companies. They aren't exactly liberal. Kimmel did enough on his own to cause them to pull. Same with Sinclair.

Did you know that 66 affiliates threatened to pull Kimmel off the air immediately after those comments? That didn't happen that fast and to that range because of the FCC.

Kimmel let his mouth overload his arse. Just admit he's an a-hole and this is the consequences of being an a-hole. Better than getting shot and killed for his comments.
