    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”
