"California U.S. Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said Thursday he is opening an investigation into what he called "corrupt schemes and threats" designed to silence critics of President Donald Trump. His announcement came after ABC abruptly pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! from the air in response to pressure from Trump allies and the Federal Communications Commission."
""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," Kimmel told his audience. His words were valid. Online, people on the right falsely blamed a Seattle paralegal who is transgender for the shooting."
Rep. Robert Garcia announced a congressional investigation into alleged corrupt schemes and threats intended to silence critics after ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! from the air under pressure from Trump allies and the Federal Communications Commission. Garcia called for defending First Amendment values and warned those complicit will be held accountable. Kimmel's monologue criticized President Trump's reaction to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and condemned right-wing amplification of unverified claims that blamed a transgender Seattle paralegal. Kimmel also mocked Trump's pivot to touting construction, and the network's decision followed controversy and external pressure.
