ABC Suspends Jimmy Kimmel's Show After Charlie Kirk Comments
Share on:

ABC has suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! indefinitely following comments made by Jimmy Kimmel about the murder of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA. Kimmel accused the "Maga gang" of exploiting the murder and mocked the decision to fly flags at half-staff.

FCC's Brendan Carr called on Disney to take action, while Donald Trump welcomed the decision. Hollywood labor unions condemned the decision as a violation of free speech. Nexstar Media and Sinclair Broadcast Group also stopped airing the show.

Kimmel left the Los Angeles studios amid protests against censorship. The case highlights the polarization in the US regarding political violence and freedom of expression.
