Reactions pour in about ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show
AP ^ | 9/18/25 | AP

Ken Martin, Democratic National Committee chairman

“The state under Donald Trump has amassed a chilling record of restricting speech, extorting private companies, and dropping the full weight of the government censorship hammer on First Amendment rights. This is no exaggeration. Trump’s attorney general has directly confirmed that they’ll come after you for your speech, and now his FCC chair has doubled down. It’s not the bully pulpit anymore — it’s the thought police presidency.”

Wanda Sykes, comedian

“I was supposed to go over and have a chat with my friend Jimmy Kimmel on his show, but as you have heard by now, the Jimmy Kimmel Show has been pulled indefinitely. Abruptly, because of complaints from the Trump administration. So let’s see. He didn’t end the Ukraine war or solve Gaza within his first week. But he did end freedom of speech within his first year. Hey, for those of you who pray, now’s the time to do it. Love you Jimmy.”

Ah, the left has found something to distract them from throwing parties about Charlie Kirk being brutally murdered for the crime of offering people a chance to debate him on topics of their choosing.

ABC fired him, not Trump. I predict they bring him back.

Leftist “jokes” about political assassins are not acceptable, and it’s tragic this completely unfunny communism replaced late night entertainment.

Thankfully, I watched night time tv when it had entertaining, intelligent, and likeable hosts.

Of course viewers won’t complain because nobody watches thus no commercial sales. Only the leftist’s complain.

Someone check Jimmy’s guest list for the past decade and I’ll bet you’ll find hundreds of Democrats who join Kibble in bad-mouthing Republicans. During that same period of time, I’ll bet there are less than 5 Republicans on the show and, if there were, I’ll bet they were sent through the wringer.

The FCC should force ABC (and all other TV/Radio outlets) to give equal time to Republicans as they have to Democrats.

This is hitting the left pretty hard... Kimmel was a lefty firebrand who offered up liberal dribble and lefty lies on a daily basis, and on a platform watched mostly by young ignorant people with no political stripe to speak of... Filling their empty brains with leftist nonsense, and turning them into zombie voters.

Kimmel’s bosses at ABC asked him to acknowledge that what he said was wrong and to apologize on the air.

His response was to tell his bosses to go eff themselves. Their response was “No, eff you.”

It’s rarely a good idea to get into a pissing match with those who can fire you. This is the back story that isn’t getting reported but people in LA media know what happened.

They can’t stand it that Trump is systematically dismantling the monopoly they’ve held when it comes to presenting idea to the public.

How has the radical Democrat left forgotten Kimmel's, "The Man Show"?

Estrogen hating, Juggle Girls, pig-fest of misogyny. That show ran for five years.

"The state under Donald Trump has amassed a chilling record of restricting speech, extorting private companies, and dropping the full weight of the government censorship hammer on First Amendment rights. ",

funny how that wasnt an issue when DJT was banned from Twitter,or gag ordered for his rape trial, kirk Cameron and Kevin sorbo were black listed, Gina was fired from disney..

Paypal censored and fined people for saying anything rightwing,

banks canceled arms manufacturers and ammo sellers.

but now its an issue to fire people for actually being money losing a-holes? ??

I cant wait for tomorrow's news, its always interesting.

Maybe a spot on The View. Then he can fatally poison that show too.

Please don’t forget that many average people were harassed and lost their jobs because the leftists are completely intolerant.

My relative is a public school teacher who would not dare post any conservative political opinion. Meanwhile the leftists at work constantly post the most radical crap. But if my relative dared to support a Republican online, they know there would be a movement to run them out of their job. The left operates through intimidation and censorship.
