Comment on ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Off Air for Charlie Kirk Comments

The MAGA Gang (is) 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.

As far as I’ve been able to tell, that’s all Kimmel said.

  And it’s not even “Charlie Kirk comments”, it’s “guy who shot Charlie Kirk comments”.
  
  He’s not taken off the air for “Charlie Kirk comments”, he’s taken off the air for not licking enough fascist ass. But of course the poor NYT reporter cannot write that, or they’d suffer the same fate.

I just read a Canadian CBC article that quoted this:

"In between the finger-pointing, there was, uh, grieving," said Kimmel.

"On Friday, the White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this," he said, before cutting to a clip where Trump responded to reporters asking about how he was doing by pointing to construction going on at the White House. "This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish."

which is marginally worse, but again, marginally.
