Here is my last point on Kimmel. If Kimmel came on and apologized like this the day after his remarks he probably wouldn't have been suspended. But by all accounts he wanted to double down. Again for the billionth time this isn't a free speech issue. He works for Mickey Mouse on NETWORK TV. Nobody said he was going to jail.

The 'suspending indefinitely' of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation.

Trump and Carr Retreat After Jimmy Kimmel's Return

It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. I don't think there's anything funny about it.... Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what - it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make. But I understand that to some, that felt either ill-timed or unclear, or maybe both. And for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you're upset. If the situation was reversed, there's a good chance I'd have felt the same way.

Charlie Kirk's Producer Torches Unrepentant Liar' Jimmy Kimmel Over His Comeback Monologue

Yes, Jimmy got emotional. So what. He's emotional for himself because he almost torched his entire career. Kimmel is an unrepentant liar who tried to blame Charlie's assassination on the part of the country that just spent the last 2 weeks praying and holding vigils. What he's really saying is that he still thinks it's fair game to slander conservatives. He would rather advance his own political and cultural agenda than confront the truth.
