"The couple shared that when the news first hit Kimmel was being taken off of the air, they decided to sit down with their 8-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter to explain the situation to them. "Our son asked if the president had done this, McNearney said. And we looked at each other, and we didn't know quite how to answer that question. I think I said yes,' Kimmel said. We did, we actually both said yes' at the exact same time, McNearney confirmed right after."
"ABC and Disney suspended Kimmel on Sept. 17 for implying the man who killed conservative influencer Charlie Kirk was a Trump supporter contrary to reports. Here is the comment from his Sept. 15 show that led to his suspension: "The MAGA [is] 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.""
ABC and Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel on Sept. 17 after a Sept. 15 comment that implied the man who killed conservative influencer Charlie Kirk was a Trump supporter. The comment provoked pushback from Nexstar and Sinclair, and FCC Chair Brendan Carr said the remark warranted consequences. Critics accused ABC and Disney of yielding to pressure from the administration, while White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied presidential involvement. ABC lifted the suspension on Sept. 22 and Kimmel returned the following evening without issuing an apology. Kimmel and his wife told their children they said the president had taken him off the air when explaining the suspension.
