Brother, I don't see how you can misinterpret what he said. I mean we can paraphrase and go one way or another all day long. The bottom line is he is saying that Tyler Robinson is a right-wing conservative MAGA person. There's no other way to cut it. I've read it three different times and it's plain to see. That's what he was saying and that is a lie and you should not be able to get on television and lie

It's the straw that broke the camels back. His show is a ratings dud and a money loser. He's a serious PR liability at this point as well. When the show launched they didn't think they were signing Rachel Maddow to host a political sermon show but that's what it's become.

I still dont see why he needed to say anything about it at all during a "comedy" or "entertainment" show.

How was it funny? Did the audience laugh?

Yeah, this counter-response of "you're doing what you accuse the left of" is mostly horseshite.

Kimmel knew he was wading into an emotional topic where a lot of anger was just waiting on him to light a match. He did so knowingly. He isn't a stupid man. He knows his employer still has plenty of scars from wading into hot-button political topics that cost them a CEO and a lot of employees. He knew this would cause more problems for them and he did it anyway. ABC's response to the actions he chose to make are their prerogative as a private company.

He isn't being hauled in front of a judge like Alex Jones was. He isn't being arrested like many in Britain are right now for expressing opinions. Just like Disney was quick to kick Gina Carano to the curb for posts on social media, why is Kimmel different? As Carrano did, he can take them to court... but this isn't a first amendment issue and I fail to see why any conservative should have sympathy for a long-time a-hole who made a living insulting them suddenly getting checked for more or less accusing "MAGA" of being somehow responsible for Charlie Kirk's killer.

Nobody is being censored. They are being fired for saying stupid shite that will cost their employer money. So the employer decides to cut bait. They are still free to say stupid shite all they want. But there are consequences. This is not the same as cancel culture from the left.


Sure—-sit there with your head in the sand all you like but the fact is the FCC leader went on a right wing podcast and threatened the company to take action or *insert back room consequences*.

That is very different than Susan on Facebook asking her friends to protest and write a letter to ABC about how mad they are.

Comparing Kirk’s murder to a goldfish dying was absolutely in poor taste.

Also, everyone here knows you’re a leftist, so you don’t have to pretend.

I think it is obvious with anyone with a brain that what he said is not that bad.

It’s standard propaganda for Kimmel. ABC was looking for a way to boot him and found it with any statement related to Kirk.

But this was just an excuse for the government to lean on ABC

I don’t have any evidence of government involvement. ABC did what it wanted to do.

Leftist tears are a bonus.

This is rich coming from the left. You frickers cheered on when the Biden administration was literally telling social media companies who to cancel because they didn’t abide by the regime’s COVID narrative

Public airwaves - that’s it. That is the only real distinction between all the other people all over right wing and left wing cable media pouring gas on a daily basis…

This is his exact words:


quote:

“We hit some new lows over the weekend* with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and **doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel began. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”



I do not believe the first part* of what he said was wrong but he omitted the verifiable conclusion that they were proved correct and the pos killer was a lunatic leftist.

*From the second after it happened Both sides were looking for anything and everything to prove the killer was on the other side of their political party.

**the doing everything possible to score political points part is overstated but some where using it as a political battering ram against lunatic lefties (deservedly)


It was distasteful and he got the FO part . frick him
