"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.In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving. On Friday, the White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level, you can see how hard the president is taking this."
"He has now said he intends to look into other programs, including "The View," a show that has, since its first episode, been careful to include a balance of political perspectives. He may back down now that ABC has announced that Kimmel's show will be returning to the air. We may learn more about any concessions or limits Kimmel had to accept."
ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel's nighttime show and CBS canceled Stephen Colbert's program after complaints tied to President Donald Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. Neither host revealed national security secrets nor advocated violence, which are narrow exceptions to First Amendment protections. Colbert made customary late-night jokes about the President. Kimmel responded to the murder of a Trump supporter by criticizing attempts to politicize the suspect's identity and expressing sympathy for the President. Chairman Carr threatened regulatory action and said he would examine other programs, including The View. ABC later announced Kimmel's return amid questions about possible concessions.
