Reactions pour in about ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show

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.”

Kimmel and his writers are liars. They lied on air to make Trump and his supporters look bad. Perhaps it’s as simple as ABC didn’t want jerks working for it.

I hope this whining doesn’t cause Disney, ABC, etc., to cave.

These are reactions from left-wing fruitcakes. This isn’t news. It’s far left garbage.

How Jimmy Kimmel’s Suspension Went Down: Sponsor Panic, a Defiant Host and a Painful Call

Disney’s Bob Iger and Dana Walden wanted to know how Kimmel was going to address the situation. Sources say he planned to defend what he said rather than “kowtowing” to the outrage. Disney thought that would fan the flames.

Well, if any of us used our jobs as a platform to spread blatant falsehoods, our jobs would be in jeopardy as well. Employers don’t typically like that.

But ABC is johnny come lately on that if that is why...but perhaps it being false information about murder was a bridge too far for them.

He can do that on X- if he likes—Does he have proof that the shooter was MAGA? That this was done to help the far right movement? That it wasn’t a young knucklehead all filled with Leftist propaganda—Done to impress his Trannie Lover?
