    So to clarify… Jimmy Kimmel did not even mention Charlie Kirk in this monologue more than as a reference to the killer.

    he literally said

    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.

    To classify this as “removed over comments about Charlie Kirk” is insane! He was talking about his killer and the reason he was removed was clarified by the FCC chair.

    [This] appears to be an action by Jimmy Kimmel to play into the narrative that this was somehow a MAGA or Republican-motivated person” - Brendan Carr

    Yet all the headlines read “for comments about Charlie Kirk”!

    Should all be saying “Removed for commenting on MAGAs actions following this shooting”

      It s for the obvious lie about the intent and political association regarding the shooter. I think him being remove isn’t the great, but he should be oblige to comme back on that statement which was a lie and tell the truth

        … he should be oblige to comme back on that statement which was a lie and tell the truth.

        Bullshit. This is such a disingenuous argument.

        MAGA immediately lied about the shooter being left, making their entire base hostile. Especially towards all non-MAGA Americans that don’t believe the 100% bullshit coming from Trumps mouth at a literal record setting pace.

        Do you feel the same need to have clarifying statements come from every lying sack of MAGA hatred that said the shooter was left immediately with no evidence?

        You know, literally all of them?

        Because unlike Kimmel, they immediately used the death of one of their own to further antagonize their perceived political enemies despite a complete lack of evidence.

        But sure, let’s hold Kimmel to the “Truth” and not the unquestionable evil of using the dead for personal gain - that needs no apologies. Might as well ignore this behaviour despite it being responsible for 70% of public shootings the last 10 years too. Seeing that’s now a fact this admin just deleted from the DOJ because they don’t like it. Is you desire for the truth here too, as it is literally being covered up?

        In what way do you feel Kimmel telling the truth is far better for our society as a whole?

        Because there is no need to get angry over Kimmel for needing to “tell the truth.” It’s not like his lie killed more Americans than all the wars we ever fought in combined like COVID has.

        So no offense, but it’s obviously the truth is very far from what you are looking for here. What it sounds like you want from Kimmel is fealty.

          MAGA immediately lied about the shooter being left

          the first arest done related to the shooting was literaly a leftist ( the old pedophile)

          But sure, let’s hold Kimmel to the “Truth” and not the unquestionable evil of using the dead for personal gain - that needs no apologies

          A public figure on tv network is held by standard and that s litteraly why he was removed

          In what way do you feel Kimmel telling the truth is far better for our society as a whole?

          if u question why telling the truth is better for society i feel all your argument regarding the other side of yours can be dismissed.

          Because there is no need to get angry over Kimmel for needing to “tell the truth.” It’s not like his lie killed more Americans than all the wars we ever fought in combined like COVID has.

          I see any relation to that topic and if your argument is i can do that cause x does that then it can also be dismissed. also i really think you exagerate a virus that have a 0.1% of killing under 50 ppl. But that might be related to your already mortal obesity rate.

          So no offense, but it’s obviously the truth is very far from what you are looking for here. What it sounds like you want from Kimmel is fealty.

          In my book he could even make fun of kirk. I dont like it but it s his right. Lying on national tv isnt

        If you read his quote above there is no lie in that line. The right have been trying to distance themselves from the shooter and have been using it to score political points as either of the party does with a situation they can use. (Although this administration is actively spreading disinformation)
