"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. 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."
"He's 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 4-year-old mourns a goldfish. OK? And it didn't just happen once."
"I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They've just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get, as you know, for about 150 years, and it's going to be a beauty."
ABC pre-empted Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show indefinitely following his comments about Charlie Kirk's death. An ABC spokesperson described the episode as pre-empted "indefinitely." Kimmel criticized the MAGA response, saying some were trying to portray the killer as anything other than one of them and aiming to score political points. Kimmel noted grieving on Friday and the White House flying flags at half staff while saying the president appeared to focus on construction. Kimmel compared the president's response to a child mourning a goldfish. The full episode remains available on YouTube, with the segment beginning around the two-minute mark.
