"More than 13,000 readers weighed in to our poll and on social to express a wide range of opinions about ABC's move to take Kimmel off the air, which came after the comedian made comments critical of President Trump, members of his administration, and the greater MAGA movement's response to the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In our poll results, 66% of the more than 1,600 respondents said they disagreed with ABC's decision to remove Kimmel from the air, while 34% agreed."
"Disney's decision to remove Kimmel from its airwaves stemmed from the comedian's monologue on Monday, when he implied (without evidence) that the suspect in Kirk's murder, Tyler Robinson, was a member of the "MAGA gang." "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."
ABC suspended production of Jimmy Kimmel Live! indefinitely after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr criticized the host's monologues about the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The suspension followed Kimmel's implication, without evidence, that the suspect, Tyler Robinson, belonged to a MAGA-affiliated group and Kimmel's mocking of President Trump's response to the murder. A Boston.com poll showed 66% of more than 1,600 respondents disagreed with ABC's decision while 34% agreed. Carr called Kimmel "truly sick" and threatened FCC action during an appearance on conservative commentator Benny Johnson's podcast.
