"Erika Kirk forgave the man who shot her husband. She forgave him. That is an example we should follow. If you believe in the teachings of Jesus as I do, there it was. That's it. A selfless act of grace, forgiveness from a grieving widow. And it touched me deeply and I hope it touches many, and if there's anything we should take from this tragedy to carry forward."
"I've been hearing a lot about what I need to say and do tonight, and the truth is, I don't think what I have to say is going to make much of a difference if you like me, you like me, if you don't, you don't. I have no illusions about changing anyone's mind. But I want to make something clear, because it's important to me as a human,"
Jimmy Kimmel returned to late-night television with an opening monologue that blended humor, political jabs, gratitude, and heartfelt emotion. Kimmel poked at President Donald Trump and FCC boss Brendan Carr while thanking supporters. He grew emotional twice: first to state he never intended to make light of Charlie Kirk's assassination, and second when describing Erika Kirk's act of forgiveness toward the man accused of killing her husband on the Utah Valley University campus on Sept. 10. Kimmel called her pardon a selfless act of grace rooted in Christian teaching and said he hoped people would carry that example forward.
