"MAGA Republicans are trying to "capitalise" on his death."
"desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them."
"Jimmy Kimmel wasn't suspended because of what he said. He was suspended because the FCC threatened his employer. That's state-sanctioned censorship and it is a giant red flag ... Authoritarianism isn't coming, it's already here. Today it's Jimmy. Tomorrow it's the rest of us."
ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show after he commented on the killing of right-wing pundit Charlie Kirk, who was shot while discussing gun violence at Utah Valley University. The suspected shooter, Tyler Robinson, faces aggravated murder charges and the death penalty. Kimmel accused MAGA Republicans of trying to "capitalise" on Kirk's death and suggested they were "desperately trying to characterise" the shooter as not part of their movement. The suspension prompted widespread calls for boycotts of Disney and ABC, with critics alleging political pressure from the FCC and its chair, and activists calling the move state-sanctioned censorship.
