"I like Jimmy and his family and have known them for years now. I don't like the concept as someone who talks for a living of any person in any creative industry losing their job for any one thing they say Roseanne, Gina or Jimmy. I think we all lose in creative spaces that sometimes require pushing the speech envelope and taking risks when that standard is applied, right, left or independent politically."
"But you can't only notice the issue when it happens to people on the same side of your own politics. Especially since the left created the cancel culture universe which I've consistently opposed my entire career and now is upset because they are being held to the standards they created. A robust defense of Jimmy on the left should also include an apology to Roseanne and Gina and an endorsement of a new more lenient standard for speech in the creative arts for everyone of all political beliefs, he continued."
ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel after he misled his audience about the political allegiances of the man who assassinated Charlie Kirk. Conservatives celebrated the suspension while some argued it raised First Amendment concerns following comments by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. Clay Travis compared Kimmel’s suspension to past Disney firings of Roseanne Barr and Gina Carano for social posts and criticized perceived hypocrisy. Travis argued that firing creative professionals for a single statement damages creative spaces that require pushing speech envelopes and taking risks. Travis called for consistent, more lenient standards for speech in the creative arts and for apologies to Roseanne and Gina.
