"JIMMY KIMMEL: 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."
"Frankly, when you see stuff like this, I mean, look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."
"You deported our neighbors in front of us. You fired veterans and stripped our families healthcare away. You killed Melissa Hortman, her husband, and her dog, then posted memes of our beautiful cities on fire. You got us fired from our jobs for simply having an opinion. Now you're celebrating as Trump targets our favorite late night hosts. We will have power again, and we will come for you. The CEO of Sinclair will be deported, we will put Elon Musk in prison, and we will drop Trump's Qatari jet into the ocean."
ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely after FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr publicly pressured broadcasters following Kimmel’s monologue about the Charlie Kirk killing. Carr warned that companies could change conduct voluntarily or face additional FCC action. Kimmel had accused MAGA supporters of trying to frame the murderer as disconnected from their movement and of exploiting the killing for political gain. Democratic influencer Adam Mockler of MeidasTouch launched a rapid satirical response, posting a 10-minute rant and a MAGA-styled thread that listed alleged grievances—deportations, veteran firings, healthcare cuts, and the killing of Melissa Hortman, her husband, and her dog—and threatened retribution against media and tech figures.
