Schumer Melts Down Over Kimmel Being Preempted, Trips Over Own Words and Gets Leveled by Maria Bartiromo

The left is in the middle of a full-blown manic response over Jimmy Kimmel's show being indefinitely preempted after a decision by affiliates and ABC. This followed Kimmel's disgraceful remarks alleging MAGA was desperately trying to spin the narrative that Kirk's accused killer wasn't one of them. That flew in the face of facts that the authorities have laid out regarding the case, and frankly, could deceive the public. ABC decided to pull the show after its Nexstar affiliate called the comments "offensive."

That sparked a meltdown from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who blamed Trump.

Chuck Schumer melts down over Kimmel, compares Trump to Xi and Putin.

“I am just outraged by it!" pic.twitter.com/68rsvKwY63 — Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) September 17, 2025 "It is outrageous, it's a page right out of Xi's playbook," Schumer ranted, referencing China's Communist leader, Xi Jinping. "This is just despicable and disgusting, and against Democratic values." He claimed "Trump and his allies" wanted to shut down speech they didn't like, and this was what "autocracies do." "I am just outraged by it - this is what dictators do. This is what Xi would do. This is what Putin would do."

It was ABC and its affiliates that pulled the show. You have a right to speak, but you don't have a right to no consequences from the people who put you on the air. They can hold you to account for what you say.

We've been talking about harmful rhetoric after Kirk's assassination, and there Schumer is already back to "dictator" after only eight days since Kirk's killing. They refuse to stop. And ironically, Schumer is blaming Trump, just as Kimmel seemed to be trying to put the killing on MAGA.

“But if Schumer wants to talk about free speech, perhaps he'd like to explain this rant when he called for Tucker Carlson to be taken off the air?

Schumer and the demonrats freaking because their media brainwashing outlets are crashing. No one watches or wants to read their leftcommie propaganda outlets anymore.
What do they expect when they advocate assassination of their opponents?
People like James Comey, Mr 86-47, and the rest of their cadre of demented demonic members can scream bloody murder, but God protects His own.

"This is just despicable and disgusting, and against Democratic values."

Those are words Chuck Schumer should NEVER use. There has not in my entire lifetime been a Senator more despicable and disgusting as Chuck Schumer, and just forget about democratic values.

The chutzpah's of this chump is amazing.

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.

No one personifies and displays the misery of a liberal quite like Upchuck Schumer. He's had this same expression on his despicable, self-serving face for decades.

Fun fact: this parasite has NEVER had a job other than being a politician, going all the way back to 1975.
