Kimmel has the worst ratings for over five years now, they had to pull the plug on him. It has nothing to do with Trump....
Laughable! But it was his comment about trump that got him off! Republican tv hosts haven’t said worse? Trump is just being authoritarian, nothing less!

America is the home of free speech of which trump has been a benefactor. Trump is everything opposite of what America stands for.

What exactly did Jimmy Kimmel say?

1) Jimmy said that we hit some new lows as MAGA people are trying to paint the kid that murdered Charlie Kirk as anything but one of them and they are doing anything they can to score political points from it.

2) He said that in between the finger pointing, there was some grieving. On Friday the White House flew the flag at half mast (which got some criticism), but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this.

3) They then cut to a video of reporters asking President Trump questions. They offered condolences on the loss of his friend, Charlie Kirk, and they asked on a personal level how is he holding up.

Donald Trump said, "Very well and by the way, you can see right there all the trucks. They just started construction of the new White House Ballroom, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years and it's going to be a beauty".

4) They cut back to the studio and we can hear the audience laughing. Jimmy Kimmel said, "He's at the fourth stage of grief, construction. This is not how an adult grieves the death of someone he calls a friend, this is how a four-year old mourns a goldfish".

Jimmy was basically pointing out that someone who's supposed to be Trump's friend has just died and Trump is more interested in the construction of the White House Ballroom.

Don't confuse yourself. He is spreading fake news that krik's killer was from the Maga base. If you don't see how dangerous that can be, I can't help you.

What are you saying? ABC is not owned by Trump. It was the decision of a private company. Jimmy has always been anti Trump and his was not stopped.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.


What’s happening in USA now is not different from what USA has been saying about Russia and North Korea..

Trump has draw USA backward to 100years. He’s now seeing himself like a Dictator..

No freedom of speech or whatsoever anymore in USA. Recently, a reporter got sack for quoting Charlie Kirk own words..

So, if CK’s words aren’t bad, why sacking people for quoting his own words?
The liberals and leftists started it , so they should enjoy what they started..... now they have started the assassination of opposition and celebrating it. .. when Conservative start theirs , they will cry blood

Justice for Jimmy Kimmel. As for that Charle Kirk guy, honestly his views were just ridiculous and unfortunate. If not for the way he was taken down, we have no sympathy for him and would have loved to dismantle all his arguments.

Jimmy is doing too much because everyone know trump was the 1st to mourn Charlie kirk, He has put out his official mourning statements and many others statements to show respect.

This was a white house official interview for something else and a report digressed to ask about how hes holding up with Charlie's loss. He responded and went back to the main interview and this foolish being Jimmy edited it out of context to present a different narrative and further disrespect the president and kirks mourning.

Everything is not up for jokes. He uses humour to paint his narrative whether true or false..

Charlie Kirk built a brand on saying the most outrageous, provocative things when he was alive, things that many considered vile, divisive, and outright corrosive. But now in his death, we see a strange twist: the U.S. government and corporate America punishing people for speaking openly about him. Workers are being fired, people are being silenced, all for voicing opinions about a man who never held his tongue.

This is the same America that parades itself as the global preacher of freedom , lecturing other nations about liberty and free speech. Yet, when it comes to home turf, the First Amendment is being mocked in real time. The hypocrisy couldn’t be clearer.


The difference today is that social media has blown the doors wide open. What used to be whispered behind closed doors, kept in check by newspapers owned by the puppet masters , is now on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook for the world to see. The mask of hypocrisy slips daily
.

Charlie Kirk was a provocateur, nothing less. He thrived on his platform, said venomous things, and enjoyed the spotlight for it. The U.S. government cannot turn around and muzzle people who are saying equally sharp things about him now that he is gone.


Think back: when Sani Abacha died, Western headlines dripped with mockery. When Gaddafi fell, newspapers danced on his grave. Freedom of speech wasn’t repressed then, so why now?

There’s an African proverb that says: “The dance someone does in the marketplace and gets sprayed with money, another who copies it may be flogged and called a madman.” Kirk copied Trump’s market-dance of provocation, assuming he’d reap applause. But in the end, the dance cost him.

And perhaps Trump himself is pushing the clampdown, because deep down he fears the same spectacle awaiting him when his own time comes.
Well said!

The world has never been this divided for decades since Donald Trump got into power.
And a situation of “us” vs “them” is a lose lose situation….. it will never favor anyone, just as our Charlie did not end well… hate is not sustainable and never ends well

So what’s the freedom of speech

Funny thing is that if this had happened in Nigeria, all of you would have jumped to social media to insult the hell out of Tinubu

This is not the 1st time he has been mocking the president. This was different cos it was related to a political assasination.

Nobody did anything for his previous statements against the president.

He’s already willing to wreck Pbsnews. Last night, one of the girl on this Eispien files victims spoke on live in Pbsnews. Omo, it seems that files is highly real and it seems it contains lots of names aside from Trump. Big big people..

The victim girl said a lot. You can search Pbsnews online to watch the video..
The file contain name of big big people in both parties , that's why none of the parties could use it to undermine the other.
But since Elon made a slip about DT Being in the list, the whole world believe it even though he later deleted it and regretted making the allegation, That's why. Sure DT won't forgive Elon for that slip and will still make him pay one way or another.

But that's not the first time he talked negatively about Trump.
The truth is that right now the tension is high because of Charlie Kirk's death even though nobody is rioting nor destroying/burning things up ( though that's what Democrats do when angered). He was supposed to stick to facts instead of saying CK was shot by MAGA

Where were you when they riot as instigated by Trump because he lost election? Can you please tell me at what point Democrats rioted?
Was is not a fact that the dude was killed by a fellow maga? Even if he wasn't why is Trump and his allies making his death political? A senator and the husband were killed in Minnesota but there was nothing like raising flag at half mast by Trump and Democrats didn't make it political or blame Republicans.

He said trump wasn't mourning kirk properly and mourning like a toddler or teen. This is about someone who was just assassinated?

And to counter him trump was ine of the 1st to mourn kirk and put out official and personal statements.

The interview at the white House was about something totally different and kirk was brought up briefly in between so why is Jimmy acting like a jerk? undecided

A direct question was asked to Trump on how he feels about Kirk and he immediately deflects to bragging about his ballroom. Now Kimmel is mocking Kirk by pointing out Trump OBVIOUSLY doesn’t care?

Be careful reaching , you might sprain your shoulder with that reach.

You Trump supporters just have a hard time accepting how awful he is as a person. It’s a detriment to you.

Did you watch Trump’s interview on Fox News?

Interviewer : “ Charlie said there’s no such thing as hate speech”
Trump : “ well he might not be able to say that now”

That’s the Trump that cares? With this obvious and direct mockery of Kirk ?
