re: Add me to the list of saying Kimmel did not say what people say he said.

You think he was simply and innocently referring to the past tense and then also failed to clarify that it turns out the “MaGa gang” was right?

yea okay

I agree, OP. Kimmel is an idiot and should have been kicked off the air long ago, but those painting his statement as a lie either struggle with reading comprehension or are just trying to stretch his words to justify ABC's actions.

IMO, ABC was perfectly reasonable in pulling his show based on what he was said. I don't think we need to stretch the statement anymore than that to justify what happened.

I just think we need to take a step back and cut out the “They did it first” justification for more witch hunts.

That train has done left the station, son. Buckle in because the childish tit for tats is really going to start ramping up. Look no further than AG Pam Bondi, whom I used to like, going on TV talking about prosecuting an Office Depot employee over him/her not wanting to print flyers.

Parse words all you want.Dance frantically to try to establish credible deniability. That’s on you and your conscience.

He lied to his audience by mischaracterizing who the killer was and why he murdered Charlie, minimized the tragedy in a truly vile manner , made it FAR more likely that Leftists would kill more Normals, effectively saying to his Leftist audience - don’t be upset by this- Trump wasn’t upset by this- the shooter was a Conservative-keep on hammering Trump and Republicans- let the violent chips fall where they may. His employer made precisely the right call, if they are choosing to distance themselves from this violence and future violence. If a man is holding a gas can over a fire, it is not a bad idea to take away his gas can.

it had already been established that the shooter was a left wing nut

kimmel knew he was lying

He knew the guy was a leftist and still said he was MAGA. And if you look at any post on FB about Charlie kirk you will see every lib on there repeating the same lines saying the killer was MAGA, etc.

He intentionally spread the misinformation to demonize conservatives again

OP has to go to the camps. It’s the only way forward.

An Aggie, T-Sipper and Tech fan walk into a bar.

The Aggies asks what woman would you want to be stuck on a deserted island with.

T-Sipper says Sophia Loren.
Tech fan says Taylor Swift.
Aggie says Virginia Pipeline.
The T-Sipper and Tech fan look confused. Who is Virginia Pipeline?
Aggie pulls out a paper with the headline, "Five men die laying Virginia Pipeline."

His words, especially given the timing when we all knew before he said it that the shooter was not maga, have meaning.

Of course they do. They mean the the "maga gang" was doing everything they could to disassociate with the shooter. That's what he said. That's what his statement means.
