I think it was the network simply looking for a reason to get rid of him.

Late night TV is dead.

This gave them a reason to end his show.


I tweeted something similar to this. It was my initial take.

ABC WANTED him to say something, and they are absolutely giddy

We are in the beginning of a swing right now. Funny how you never brought this up before.

We’ve known the motive and his affiliation for days. Kimmel was lying and you’re lying or just incredibly ignorant but running your mouth anyway.

Kimmel probably wants to get fired too. There's no other reason to stand there and blatantly lie, get proven wrong the following day, and not issue a simple apology.

Newsflash. We have been on this road. We were forced on this road by the left. Now that it’s not working out for them they want to point fingers and say we should all come together.

Yes. The pendulum is already swinging. That’s why you are seeing what you are seeing now.

it’s the FCC pressuring them to get rid of Kimmel over the comments, I’m not a fan since you’re then discussing government suppressing speech.

Funny you mention that because the FCC just threatened ABC earlier today.
Fox News

Also Trump threatened a reporter for asking about Bondi's hate speech comments earlier today.

You’re a perfect example of a propaganda soaked mind which is why we’re in the era we’re in. There’s video clips of this information yet you always choose to go with a biased and dishonest 3rd party story as your “news”. It’s sad and that isn’t an insult or being facetious.

Thing is he didn't even say anything about Kirk. He called out the right for immediately trying to pin this on the left, when even the FBI has not released a motive. Hell before they even had a suspect you had big names saying so.


Baw, you actually had a couple decent points until you said this. Kimmel made these comments yesterday. This is well after it was known that Robinson was dating a Tranny, and hated his dad because he was MAGA. Hell, we knew that he etched “catch this fascist” on one of the bullets. There is no chance this guy was even an old school liberal. You are being incredibly obtuse.

I literally used Fox News as a source that you obviously ignored.

We know his roommate was trans but as far as I've seen it's unknown if they're dating. Also catch this fascist is a reference to the Helldivers 2 game which is why there are also the arrow marks next to it. I can understand the confusion there since it's a gaming reference that some may not get. The dude lived in discord and had other gaming and wired meme references.

He called him “love” in the text messages. Get your head out of your arse.

Also Trump just went on Truth Social asking for NBC to ax Fallon and Myers. If there's just an iota of objectivity in y'all this has to at least be somewhat concerning given that ABC axed Kimmel after being threatened by the FCC Chair

What are you even arguing?

That Jimmy DIDN'T say what he said? Didn't KNOWINGLY lie about the killer?


Is that your take on all this?

I am not a fan of cancel culture nonsense by either side.

But I think it is funny how the left acts like it is bad now, and the right pretends it doesn't exist.

Yesterday the right even used the EXACT SAME justification the left used:

It isn't "Cancel Culture", it is "Consequence Culture".



While I do not support the righties doing this shite. . .I have no sympathy for lefties in this shite.

This is some chickens coming home to roost, far as I see it.

He didn't actually say the kid was MAGA, He said Maga was desperate to show he was anything BUT right-wing

My point was that he did not say anything about Charlie directly which is what some people in social media are trying to imply. He did imply that the killer was MAGA which seems to be false. But he's not wrong that many members of the right including the president immediately blamed the left before Tyler was even caught

I get it. But you are missing the point. No maga guy, even a gamer, is etching that on a bullet aimed for Charlie Kirk. It’s asinine to believe otherwise.
