Kimmel’s suspension is part of an ongoing witch hunt to suppress all political views that express opposition to the fascist Trump administration.

Facing pressure from the Trump administration on Monday, ABC—owned by Disney—announced it would be suspending the late-night television show Jimmy Kimmel Live! “indefinitely,” after the host came under attack from fascists and Trump administration officials over his commentary on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

    A few people have already pointed this out in the replies, here is the quoted bit, then he sets up for a cutaway to the awesome Trump appearance on Fox and Friends where he’s bragging about the new ballroom

    Kimmel - “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,”

    Like okay, taken in the absolute least charitable way, and Kimmel is saying Robinson is MAGA? But I think a reasonable interpretation is that he’s saying exactly what we witnessed, Republicans scrambling to try to pin Robinson’s identity as … anything other than one of them.
