"All the shows are talking about how this is awful for America that Jimmy Kimmel was indefinitely suspended, and isn't this awful for America, it's a chilling thing for the First Amendment. And they're saying that on every platform. Not one person has said anything about me. Not one on that network has said they've all gone out of their way to say, isn't this horrible what happened to Jimmy Kimmel?"
"Including Morning Joe [Scarborough] and Mika [Brzezinski], who went after me after the show, basically saying they were glad I was terminated. And now today, they're talking about how awful it is for our country that somebody like Jimmy Kimmel can't say what he said and he is indefinitely suspended and not an iota about what their employer just did to another employee."
"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, Kimmel said on his show. Utah officials have made clear that Robinson was indoctrinated with leftist ideologies in the years leading up to Kirk's murder."
Matthew Dowd called out media colleagues for widespread outrage over Jimmy Kimmel's indefinite suspension while receiving no public support after his own firing. Dowd noted that multiple hosts criticized him and appeared to celebrate his termination even as they decried Kimmel's suspension as a First Amendment concern. Both Dowd and Kimmel faced employer repercussions after comments connected to the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. ABC suspended Kimmel after a remark linking MAGA and Tyler Robinson, the accused shooter. MSNBC dismissed Dowd after he suggested Kirk could have been killed by celebratory gunfire and tied hateful thoughts to violence.
