"Kimmel was singled out for a comment he made during a monologue on Monday's edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live: 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."
"Overnight, President Trump suggested more could be coming. This is what he wrote online. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has zero talent and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that's possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth to total losers on fake news NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it, NBC."
ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely after FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr threatened to pull affiliate licensing over Kimmel's monologue about the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk and the MAGA movement's reaction. President Trump posted a message congratulating ABC and urging similar action at NBC, criticizing Kimmel and Seth Meyers' ratings and talent. CNN anchor John Berman hosted Scott Jennings and Bakari Sellers to discuss the suspension. Bakari Sellers accused President Trump of enabling authoritarian censorship and labeled the suspension fascism. Brit Hume commented that the First Amendment does not protect performers from private employers but questioned FCC involvement.
