ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after comments on Charlie Kirk

[GoldenBoy89]

It's weird watching people exploit his death. People on the left have expressed the sentiment that this was a tragedy, what I'm seeing on the right is seeing this as an opportunity to exploit--and it's morally repugnant.

The Right now gets to both have a martyr and exploit him, while fomenting more violent rhetoric. It's... it's just. God have mercy.

I just keep telling myself it’s what Charlie would have wanted.

 

[Servus]

He did express compasision earlier in the stand up.

And that's were he should have stopped.

 

[Servus]

The laughter was for his bit about the rush to make political advantage, not about the murder, or Mr Kirk himself.

Keep digging that hole.

 

[Servus]

I'll that as, yes, you believe the POTUS can use the FCC to control political speech.

Sounds like desperation for people to believe in the latest Trump is a dictator conspiracy theory.

Why?

Trump isn’t threatening to go after other shows now? Sounds like someone’s got their head buried in the sand.

Instead of showing me where Im wrong, you drag out a generic cliche. Great.

No, the laugher was over Kimmel using Kirk's murder to mock Trump. Nothing said whatsoever at all for any reason about a murder that just occurred, should generate laughter. I really should not have to explain that. But if the left wants to keep digging a deeper hole by saying it was okay in any way, they obviously will keep going at it.

Post a clip of him saying exactly that.

I would agree if it had been about the murder, and not limited to the politicizing reaction.

"My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. May I ask, sir, personally, how are you holding up over the last day and a half, sir? Yes. He's at the fourth stage of grief, construction." *laugher from audience*

If you still don't get it, I totally give up on trying to explain it to you.

That’s a joke about Trump, not Charlie.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

When did the right become so PC?

Its looking askance at the people rushing to make political hay out of the whole thing.

Note that this portion of the transcript is from the video clip that was played - that was a question that a reporter asked Trump, not something Kimmel said.

Start with Jimmy Kimmel claiming MAGA assassinated Kirk.

 

[Chrystal-J]

I never could stand Jimmy Kimmel, especially when he cried on-air over Trump winning the election. But, I'm also for free speech. So, unless his ratings were low, I don't see a reason for dismissal.
