Social Jimmy Kimmel gets Canceled

[Rational Poster]

Found out something:

The backstory:

During Monday's broadcast of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" the host accused the GOP of hitting "new lows" on how the party reacted to Kirk's death.

"MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them," Kimmel said. "When everything they can to score political points from it in between the finger pointing, there was grieving. On Friday, the White House flew the flags at half staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level, you can see how hard the President is taking this."

Kimmel then mocked Trump's reaction to Kirk's death, who was the one announcing the conservative activist's death to the nation.

"[Trump is] at the fourth stage of grief construction, demolition, construction. This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish," Kimmel said.

Trump should be mocked for giving more a fuck about his ballroom for no one that no one asked for than Charlie Kirk's death and his own chief of staff calling to brand the Democrat party domestic terrorists.

Sounds like a violation of the First Amendment, especially because the FCC threatened the ABC stations first.

Source for the threats, please.

I think he was already on notice after that other late night host was canceled.

 

[Confucamus]

LMAO

Nobody deserved it more.

FCC chair levels threat against ABC, Disney after Kimmel suggested Charlie Kirk assassin was 'MAGA'

FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatened to take action Wednesday against ABC and Disney over Jimmy Kimmel's comments about the suspected Charlie Kirk assassin.

Source for the threats, please.

The ABC late-night host’s remarks constituted “the sickest conduct possible,” FCC chair Brendan Carr told right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson on Wednesday. Carr suggested his FCC could move to revoke ABC affiliate licenses as a way to force Disney to punish Kimmel.

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said. “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take actions on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

That seems pretty tame. I suspect they were looking for an excuse, and this provided them with cover. I disagree, if that's all he said. Just man up and share why you really let him go ABC... cowards.

 

[Dobymick]

Good. Fuck him

Liberals surprised that sane people acted disgusted over a man killed for political opinions.

They are so out of touch that required public backlash to start faking empathy. But if you remember as soon it happened their go to talking points was trying to justify by saying he practiced hate speech and some other bs. When that didn't land they are now trying to push their little hero to the right

 

[White Whale]

He had no problem with them silencing right wing people so I don't care he is getting canceled.

 

[Starck]

Kimmel sucks but this weaponization of the government to remove criticism is scary. Things are going in a bad direction.

He didn't say anything bad about Charlie, it was about Trump and MAGA.

Trump deserves to be mocked for how he behaved immediately after the shooting.

Trump literally said the order was Kimmel next, then Fallon. lol

I guess this is one promise he's keeping.

STFU, Kimmel didn't say anything about Krik.. he was complaining about the Right using this tragedy to score points while at the same time ignoring any chance that Maga could have anything to do with it.

It's a fair point. This kid was raised by ultra conservative maga types and bathed in guns his whole life...

If there's a silver lining to what happened to Charlie Kirk, its how many folks are waking up to what shitty people the progressive left really are. I hope this is just the beginning of this purge of horrible, toxic people.

 

[DoctorTaco]

i think he’ll manage.

 

[Unknown Pleasures]

I always remember George Carlin's routine about white victiminaztion....

"What do white people have to complain about when it comes to unfairness in life? Banana Republic ran out of khakis????"




(Full disclosure, I have never bought khakis from Banana Republic, but I have bought many linen shirts!)

 

[ricc505]

I'll bet his show is in the red on budget and viewers. Convenient excuse to shed an outdated program.
