He didn't say a single denigrating thing about Kirk. He called the Republicans out on their attempts to frame the left for MAGA on MAGA violence.

So I wonder how those comedians that thought Trump was funny are doing. Or those that thought they didn't want to mix politics in their humor, so never said a bad thing about Trump. With Colbert they could lie to themselves, but with Kimmel there is no ambiguity.

How on Yod's green earth can ANYONE at this point be asking "WTF is happening"?! Wake the fuck up, you're in the 4th Reich.

If you had told me 20 years ago I'd be joining one of the members of the man show in a progressive fight against a nazi regime led by Donald Trump, I'd have smacked you for being on every drug possible
VictorDenn
It is far later than most non-MAGA believe. Do you really think you are getting a mid-term election next year? The fact that blue states exist will be cause for martial law by this time next year.
EroticZombiePants
Possibly. We definitely won't have another Presidental election if Trump is still alive in 3 years though.
Comet260
What I worry about is the neoliberal Dems just laying back and accepting there not being a midterm. "Civility" and "Decorum".
CapttainKillJoy
I’ve been telling people we’re screwed for a little while and it doesn’t seem like people believe me

The same thing that's been happening for a while now. Legacy media kissing Trump's ass and I guess the asses of anything MAGA.

fascism... that is what is happening isnt it making america great!!!!! there you got your awnswer as to what the fuck is happening... also enjoy your new civil war.
ArgentXero
ABC did this, the Govt only threatened them.
This is no different than Columbia capitulating vs Harvard resisting.
You do not need to go out of your way to capitulate.
anjeleyezjr
ABC backed the nazis instead of the people fighting them, that's hat.
Ardilla05
Really OP??? You don’t know?? For ten effing years the entire world has been telling you Americans that you were getting into the final throws of your democracy. And now it’s too late. Uggh.
bardman135
Getting pulled the fuck off the air =/= “faced some criticism”
TheShogunOfSarcasm
Vote with your wallet. Stop watching whatever bullshit they parade out on TV/Internet/whatever. When it starts costing them money, then they'll care.
Eyeetsass
They’ll care enough to start forcing it. Watch. They’ll use force from here on out to manufacture any outcomes they want.
captainsweatypants
Done. Cancelled my Disney/Hulu subscription. Fuck em
MySushi
They won't. Terrorists hate with devotion and faith. People losing jobs, losing homes, starving, suffering, turning to illicit drugs, falling prey to crime or temptation of becoming predatory criminals themselves, increase in desperation and suicides, on our side or theirs? None of it matters to them, so long as they get to fulfill their twisted hate agenda. Stock markets crashing fair game. Reputation of country in gutter. Just look at the Taliban, for comparison. Their rise = ruin for nation
TheShogunOfSarcasm
That's......nonsense. even groups like the Taliban aren't fighting for ideals. They're fighting for power. Once companies start hemorrhaging money, watch how fast things change.
Rips4w
Did that a long time ago. Things have only gotten worse, I'm afraid.
Reidsb
Its not criticism they fear.
It's mockery.
bucksfan70
Nah l, they’re just tired of your sick, lying, mouth spewing domestic terrorism hate speech by claiming everyone who’s not a communist a Nazi.
GoodBrotherGrimm
Take your meds.
bucksfan70
You have no intelligent reply, eh?
I’ve seen that a lot this year from the left (haha).
GoodBrotherGrimm
You wouldn't know intelligence if it shot you through the throat (haha)

Is that a death threat? It sounds like it.

And they deserve that mockery in spades.

Remember when the folks on the left were the snowflakes?
EternallyIgnorant
When was that exactly? because no I dont remember. Right wingers have always been the most easily offended people ever. They demand everyone else respect their religion without respecting others. They freak out if some black people have a bbq or hold a bag of skittles.
memoryshuffle
It wasn't ABC, it was Trump. https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/brendan-carr-abc-fcc-jimmy-kimmel-charlie-kirk-1236522406/
AgainstMedicalAdvice
Yeah this is the important part. Networks didn't just decide it was too much. The FCC was making public threats towards the networks and suggesting they remove him.
NotThePoint
Sounds like they got a threat from the whitehouse.
SuspiciousCactus
CNN did a pretty good breakdown of how ridiculous this is and how much media companies are beholden to the White House, i.e. Trump has a lot of tools to blackmail any broadcasting or news station that he doesn't like.
JoshAndBurn
Brendan Carr is the Trump appointed chairman of the FCC. The FCC threatened to pull ABC's broadcasting licence unless they took Kimmel off the air.
Carr is also the one who wrote the chapters in Project 2025 about how the FCC needs to operate in order for their vision for America to come about.
So basically, yeah.
lightfoot2
Yep, consider broadcast TV to just be another fascist organ.
Krzyf
I think Jimmy Kimmel has the grounds for a lawsuit unless ABC is planning to pay out all his contract and then some.
rdewalt
If we had a functioning court system, Trump will just appeal it clear to his pet SCOTUS who will find reasons for him.
ThatOtherMacAvoyWoman
His contract expired this year
MyVirginityIsGrowingBack
But not the guy who said homeless people should be killed on Fox??
NothingPrince
have they coughtvbthe guy yet who shot the homeless people yet
drbwaa
Trump's FCC used the murder as an excuse to threaten to revoke ABC's right to *be a network*. Strangely, they don't seem to care about Fox's behavior.
SomeDetroitGuy
That's because they have no ability to regulate Fox News because they can't regulate cable.
AshenRaine
Wrong. One speaks of Trump like a idiot, the other licks his ass.
iConfirmAnythingAndEverything
Licking is too nice. They wiggle it in there and slide it in and out while simultaneously finger their own butt and moaning.
gtotherizzle
You're not paying attention to who has been worked into every corner of press and culture in the past 25 years have you?
TheImgurWarsMadeMe
"Well, see, he said he was very sorry...
Wait, he didn't really? Fake news, liberal facists! Well, whatever, we agree with him anyway."
georgejimmydoodle
Nope. Not even a suspension. Probably got a raise because someone took his advice and shot up a couple of encampments.
HandoB4Javert
VictorDenn
Kimmel isn't just being pulled, he is being investigated by the FCC.
AshenRaine
And considering the idiotic comments from the head of the FCC, which demonstrates high levels of trump-ass-kissery, he'll probably be fired too.
LifeIsADanceOfMinds
"Suspended indefinitely"

Disney, that is
ItsACrazyWorld
Whats happening? A fascist regime has taken control of America. Thats whats happening. They dont like criticism. Kimmel didnt even say anything bad about Charlie. What he called out was that the republicans are twisting the narrative to turn this into some thing it isnt.
xj4low
Control the DOJ, control the media, control the lawyers, senate will do what ever he says, doesn't matter what courts say of you ignore them since the DOJ won't come after him, dispatch military in democrat cities, control the vote counters, redistrict and gerrymander districts, arrest people based on racial profiling, deport them without trial, mass firings those that don't support pres.
We aren't a step closer, we are in a dictatorship. I'll be surprised if we have midterms. The US is dead.
SophieClockwise
Which this exact situation demonstrates with perfect clarity.
TheDoctorCrankenstein
Yet, no matter how clear it may be, the blind are still unable to see and the deaf unable to hear.
minipancho94
Has taken control? They've been in control. They're just finally able to be public about it.
Forensickle
I wouldn't say they have taken control. They certainly have the capacity to do that, but unlike 90 years ago these guys are pretty fucking incompetent. They do have control, and they do try and use it, and they are doing terrible damage and harm, but they have certainly not managed to "take control" in a full authoritarian sense. I think they are being more "public" because they are too stupid to realise that they don't actually have full control (that they can effectively use) yet
sjleegketting
Oh, sweet, sweet summer child. I can notice you didn't get your history classes in Europe. Maybe you should start looking past American right-wing media. Because oh boy, from a previously nazi occupied country, I can see pretty clear what is going on in America. Schools here, 80 years later, still teach how to recognise nazism and totalitarianism and why we dont want that here. We are also stuck with Putin since he came to power. We can't afford to kid around with extremism like you are.
Forensickle
I'm not kicking around with extremism, and far from unaware of what they are, and the playbook they are following.
Calling them incompetent isn't a call for complacency, it's a call to attack. Because as I said, incompetent or not, the damage they are able to do is still very real, and will only increase if we give them time to _become_ competent
truemdgeist1337
Wake up
Forensickle
I am awake, and don't get me wrong, I am afraid, and that was not a call for complacency when faced by Maga. Them being incompetent won't stop them succeeding if we don't resist... and the damage their incompetent attempts to take total power are incredibly dangerous alone. Acknowledging your enemy is stupid is not an invitation to do nothing and let them try again and again until their stumble into their goal
truemdgeist1337
What’s happening here is dangerous: when a late-night host gets yanked because politicians threaten networks with regulatory punishment, that’s not just about Kimmel — it’s about free speech. America is so polarized that even satire is treated like a weapon. If media caves to political pressure, trust collapses and only the loudest extremists win.
KoalaOnTheJuice
1) The fascists of 90 years ago were also incompetents who did terrible damage and harm. That is what fascists are.
2) 90 years ago it took them multiple years to dismantle every aspect of the democratic nation following their election. This takeover is running ahead of schedule if anything.
3) Don't forget there have been many fascist governments in history beside the one with the little moustache. Fascism takes many forms. Post-invasion Putinite Russia was the most modern example until now.
Forensickle
I said they were incompetent, not dangerous. Acknowledging your enemy as incompetent is NOT a call for complacency. An incompetent enemy already doing severe damage shouldn't be allowed to keep practicing until they pull it off. It is a rallying cry to fight harder, because they do not have full control (yet), and we CAN resist still. Pointing out a chink in someone's armour means you target that, not right them off as harmless and let them run around swinging a sword uncontested
KoalaOnTheJuice
If it results in widespread action in support of one another in spite of the terror they are desperately trying to instill then yes I agree with you.
cryborg
His remarks were nothing - at least what I read in Variety. He said, "The 'MAGA gang' was trying to score political points off Kirk’s murder."
DwightSchrupert
And he implied the shooter was MAGA, which is deeply untrue. That's Alex Jones level of conspiracy theory.
IrvineHazelfield
Except he didn't. He stated the right was doing everything possible to say he wasn't one of them, which is accurate to what they are doing.
DwightSchrupert
True, because he isn't one of them. How is that so hard to understand? The left is actively celebrating kirks death, but pretends like one of theirs would never commit such an act of violence that they've been calling for for years.
EternallyIgnorant
Ignore this pedophile worshipper, people.
DwightSchrupert
What an ignorant thing to say. Can't stand up to a square argument so you resort to name calling, and inaccurate name calling at that! I'd expect nothing less from the radically uneducated.
