Joe Scarborough Hails Bipartisan Stand with Jimmy Kimmel: This Is Big Government vs. The People'
"I love what he said about Erica Kirk there. And I also loved, really loved him talking about Republicans that he disagreed with on almost every issue and it was framed perfectly. What this last week has shown is and I hope some other Republicans can start thinking this way this is not Republican against Democrat in so many of these cases. It's not left wing against right wing."
"It's none of those things. This is Big Government versus The People. This is a centralized state versus individual rights. And there have been times, and we've talked about it over the past decade, where the left has seemed to not care as much about that. There have been times that the right has not seemed to care as much about that. But in this case, the left and the right came together."
Joe Scarborough praised Jimmy Kimmel's return and highlighted bipartisan defenses after ABC suspended Kimmel following backlash to a joke about MAGA's reaction to Charlie Kirk's assassination. Brendan Carr, FCC chair, amplified the controversy by urging affiliates to act, prompting conglomerates to pile on and ABC to suspend Kimmel temporarily. Kimmel offered a tearful monologue expressing compassion for Charlie Kirk and his family and thanked conservatives, including Ben Shapiro and Senator Ted Cruz, who supported him. Scarborough framed the episode as a broader fight between centralized government intervention and individual rights, applauding Republicans who objected to governmental involvement in media content.
