Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show was suspended by ABC on Wednesday following a brief pressure campaign from the Trump administration as well as conservatives in the media, who successfully twisted Kimmel’s words following last week’s assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
During Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, the comedian criticized conservatives for trying to “score political points” off Kirk’s death.
“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,” Kimmel said during his monologue on Monday.
Kimmel’s slightly ambiguous comments came after conservatives spent the weekend blaming the left and transgender people for Kirk’s killing. At the time, the public knew little about the alleged shooter’s motives. Prosecutors disclosed on Tuesday that the suspect, Tyler Robinson, told his trans roommate and apparent romantic partner, “I had enough of his hatred.”

Kimmel was fired by his employer
Trump had nothing to do with it beyond pointing out the lies he was spewing.
Just say NO to drugs.
The rolling stone is still around?......who knew?
Kimmel was fired by ABC who knew that the show was bleeding money and when it lost half its stations it simply could not survive. Pretty simple and nothing to do with “free speech”.
Didn’t RS just fire 10 people?
Isn’t that 9 more than po ole jimmah?-)
Isn’t RS going bankrupt?
“as anything other than one of them”— “slightly ambiguous comments?” Out and out lies are not refined by twisting syntax.
Why does it take two to three people to write articles like this? Can they not think for themselves? Wait….don’t answer that….
“Ahh princess on a steeple and all the pretty people
They’re all drinking, thinking that they’ve got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him he calls you, you can’t refuse
When you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You’re invisible now, you’ve got no secrets to conceal
How does it feel, ah how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
Like a complete unknown, like a Rolling Stone”
”excuse me stewardess, I speak jive”…….
Nexstar pulled the show off their channels so Jimmy’s boss got rid of him. Neither Trump in particular nor MAGA in general got him fired
Em… I believe it was Kimmel who drummed up MAGA.
The entire staff of this magazine living in a dream world
They don’t objectively look at the ten second clip monologue we’ve all seen? Have they even seen the monologue?
Does the fact that no lawyers are rushing in to take this case mean anything to them?
Taking down a “comedian “ who doesn’t have very much of an audience doesn’t require BS.
Will be so glad when this subject is no longer in the news cycle. Kind of tired of seeing it in every thread on every website, across the board.
Why does it take two to three people to write articles like this? Can they not think for themselves?

Cuz only one of them speaks English ?
🤣
Rolling Stone knows a lot about “drummed up BS” they’ve done so much of it in the past....U of Virginia fraternity gang rape and hospitals in Oklahoma overwhelmed with patients over dosing on ivermectin immediately come to mind...
A publication that once drummed up BS to try to jail fraternity kids at UVA for gang rape is now lecturing us on drumming up BS.
For too long they lived as if they had immunity from any consequences. Consequences were for the little people. Now they don’t have immunity and it is blowing their minds.
10+ years of tiresome and tedious shows. Massive salary. Shrinking ratings.
Hey Jimmy what is in my pocket? Your pink slip! Now PISS OFF!
The Leftist media is far and wide. Everything was fine and dandy until their ox got gored. They will continue to lie about this and blame Trump because that is ALL they do, period. It is all that Kimmel did, it is all that Dems do, it's all that the Left does. No plans, no news, no jokes, just Trump bashing, it's boring, their audience is shrinking.
