ABC Pulls 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' After Charlie Kirk Comments - "In his monologue Monday night, Kimmel said that the “MAGA gang” was trying to score political points off Kirk’s murder... “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them”"
Misinformation is good when it pushes the left wing agenda
Guy Benson on X - "The total fiction that Charlie’s assassin is a right winger (he’s a left-winger) has been swallowed whole across vast swaths of the Left — so much so that they’re self-righteously & falsely lecturing conservatives for understanding actual reality. Also, this is a “comedy” show:"
Right Winged Angel on X - "The people who are calling ABC canceling Jimmy Kimmel over lying about Charlie Kirk’s killer an “attack on free speech”, are the same people who cheered when ABC canceled Roseanne over a joke."
Barack Obama on X - "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."
Roseanne Barr on X - "Remember when you and your wife called Bob Iger to have me fired?"
Late-night TV hosts on Trump Twitter ban, impeachment plans - Los Angeles Times - "Talk show hosts Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, James Corden, Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert all celebrated recent news that Twitter has banned President Trump... “It’s been unusually quiet over the past few days,” Kimmel said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” “The only thing scarier than Donald Trump tweeting is Donald Trump not tweeting. It was a way for us to know where he was. It’s like when they put a bell on a cow.”"

The Babylon Bee Is Outraged To Learn Jimmy Kimmel Was Canceled Just For Being MAGA Republican | Babylon Bee
Watch: Jimmy Kimmel celebrates Tucker Carlson getting fired in resurfaced video, netizens say ‘it's karma’ - "Fox News fired Tucker Carlson in April 2023 because they felt the commentator and host had become arrogant. “Fox News has severed ties with Tucker Carlson. After all these years, they are parting ways, which means he was fired,” Jimmy Kimmel said on his show at the time. Kimmel also reported that the move left Carlson “stunned” because he was let go “in the middle of renegotiating his contract.” “Someone released a photograph of Tucker’s face the moment he found out he was being fired. And you can see he was surprised,” Kimmel added while a photo of Carlson was displayed... After ABC decided to suspend Jimmy Kimmel, several users reacted to the news on X, formerly Twitter. “Those who celebrate others being cancelled/fired have no right to complain about getting fired/cancelled themselves,” a user wrote on X.
Bonchie on X - "Watching the left, especially the media, go from "well, Charlie Kirk did kind of deserve it because he said some stuff" to total free speech absolutists over the last 24 hours has been a wild ride."
Stephen L. Miller on X - "The national media being more upset at Jimmy Kimmel losing his show than they are Charlie Kirk losing his life is kind of proving the point."
Kamala Harris on X - "What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats. We cannot dare to be silent or complacent in the face of this frontal assault on free speech. We, the People, deserve better."

People Okay With Murder Outraged By TV Show Cancellation | Babylon Bee
Elizabeth MacDonald on X - "NEWS Disney’s CEO Bob Iger and co-chair Dana Walden made the decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s show after he planned to double down and go on camera to defend his lie that MAGA voters killed Charlie Kirk rather than "kowtow” to the outrage, Hollywood Reporter reports. They yanked him because they “thought that would fan the flames” as Nexstar and Sinclair affiliates dropped him. “The advertiser calls began to roll in and then the big affiliate conglomerates, Nexstar and Sinclair, threatened to preempt the show.” This is market reaction, and not tied to FCC chair Brendan Carr’s actions. Kimmel even planned to double down and not apologize after “Disney employees saw their emails doxxed..some even received death threats.” When “66 of the roughly 200 affiliate stations had said they would” drop him, that’s when Iger and Walden pulled the plug. @jimmykimmel @ABC @Disney #JimmyKimmel @THR @charliekirk11 @TPUSA @FCC @x #CharlieKirk #Disney #BreakingNews"

Texas student arrested after mocking Charlie Kirk's death as she's seen in disturbing video dancing and taunting MAGA supporters at vigil - "A student at Texas Tech University has been arrested after she was caught on camera mocking Charlie Kirk's assassination and gleefully dancing in the wake of his death. Students at the school were holding a vigil for the late conservative commentator on Friday when 18-year-old Camryn Giselle Booker was filmed jumping up and down and chanting 'F*** y'all homie dead, he got shot in the head.' Shocking video shared online showed Booker then confronting a man wearing a Make America Great Again hat with her phone as he asks her why she's 'being so hateful.' Dancing Booker then repeated the question back at the man as she shoved her phone into his face, prompting the other student to ask her to 'back up, please.' At that point, Booker asked him to 'not push the camera in my face' - to which he responds: 'You walked up to me. I don't want this. I said "Rest in peace."' 'OK and I can do this too,' Booker then says, as she continues to push her phone in his face. 'I want to be left alone,' the man in the MAGA hat could be heard saying, before someone off-screen tells Booker that she is being emotional. 'I'm not being emotional, ma'am. Don't tell me what I am and what I'm not,' Booker shoots back. 'You could get out of my face 'cause I can tell you what you are, but you won't like it.' The man and the woman off-screen then continue to tell her she is being overly aggressive and emotional - at which point Booker accuses them of being racist. 'I'm not being aggressive,' she says in the video. 'My voice is very calm. You're calling me aggressive because I'm a black woman,' which the man denies... Booker also allegedly started shouting profanities at the mourners holding candles and American flags. 'She started yelling slurs and accusing everyone of being "fascists" for honoring Kirk,' one attendee said. The situation then escalated when Booker allegedly shoved several people, including an elderly veteran and a young mother with her child - which prompted a physical altercation that spread into the street. Booker was then taken into custody and was charged with battery, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest and was cited for assault. She was released on a $200 bond the next day... Booker is not the only one who has been arrested for their behavior following Kirk's death at Utah Valley University last week. Ryder Corral, 19, was also taken into custody for destroying a community memorial for Charlie Kirk at conservative non-profit Turning Point USA's headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona on Sunday. Reports say Corral managed to make it about 15 yards through the crowd before he was subdued by bystanders and taken into custody by police. He managed to destroy some items placed at the memorial... Disturbing footage and pictures show Corral wearing the exact same t-shirt and outfit worn by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson when he allegedly shot and killed the 31-year-old conservative influencer."
Anyone notice how the loonies in r/Edmonton and r/Calgary are dissing the vigils and asking why there is a vigil for an American in Canada?? But they are the first ones to protest for a place not in Canada or for George Floyd who was not Canadian. : r/CanadianConservative - "They conveniently use CKs quotes against him by leaving most of the point out and only use what suits their agenda. These people are legitimately nuts."
AF Post on X - "24% percent of Americans believe Charlie Kirk’s shooter, Tyler Robinson, was a Republican, compared to 21% who think he was a Democrat, according to a new YouGov poll. This comes after a concerted media effort across Facebook, Reddit, and X, amplified by Bill Maher and outlets such as Reuters and the New York Times, to convince the public that Robinson, who attacked Kirk as a fascist and lived with a transgender boyfriend, was a right-wing follower of Nick Fuentes.

Nux on X - "Millions of ‘tolerant’ psychopaths are terrified that they’re losing a game that they’ve designed the rules for. I come bearing fantastic news though, my dear ‘tolerant’ psychopaths. The ‘cancel culture’ that you did such a great job designing, was created to oppress and ruin the lives of people with opinions you hated or jokes that offended you. What’s happening to you is not ‘cancel culture’. This is acknowledging that you are a public safety threat. We don’t want teachers that support the murder of an innocent father, teaching our children. We don’t want 911 responders celebrating the assassination of a political commentator responsible for keeping us safe. We don’t want nurses justifying the killing of a man they don’t like deciding whether we ‘deserve’ their medical care. These are very reasonable steps to prevent you from killing us and then celebrating our demise. Thank you for designing the cancel culture infrastructure. We’ll make the most of it."
Grummz on X - "The Left just blew all their trust. Normies see a nice guy doing a simple debate, not a political speech, not leading a rally or a riot, getting gunned down in 4k. Then they see a bunch of people, even their friends, cheer and clap and dance. They ask why. "Well, you see, he was evil!" they cry gleefully, eyes feral. The normie just stares a the screen. A clean cut guy with a microphone is bleeding out horrifically. It reminds them of the scared young blonde they saw bleeding out on the subway just a few days ago. A question forms. "What did he do that made him evil?" they ask. "He SAID things!" they scream back, a bit of spittle flying from their mouths. "So you are happy they murdered him....for talking?" "YESSSS!!!! You get it now!" claps their kids teacher, their pilot, or their doctor. The normie is horrified. Someone they trust their kids to, their health to, or their safety is acting like a foaming, raging lunatic who wants people dead because they said something they didn't like. Do you realize how this comes across?"

U of A law prof, Florence Ashley, posted on Bluesky about the death - "a U of A law professor who has described themself as “the first openly transfeminine clerk at the Supreme Court of Canada,” Florence Ashley, posted on social media app, Bluesky, about the death... Prof. Ashley — who has been criticized previously for provocative social media posts — responded to Klein’s column: “You do not, in fact, ever have to hand it to the Nazis. I utterly do not care for any ‘virtues’ that someone may perceive in them.” In a subsequent post, Ashley suggests that the point of the first one was not to call Kirk a Nazi. Instead, it was a reference to an internet meme that it is not necessary to “hand it to them.” It reads: “ “Are you saying Charlie Kirk is a Nazi?” No, I’m making an allusion to this meme:” The post shows a photo of an alleged ISIL member, with a the meme that “…you do not, under any circumstances, ‘gotta hand it to them.'”
Curtis Houck on X - "WATCH: Montel Williams on CNN Thunderdome says the suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination was "a love-torn child" likely in the throes of "his first real relationship and someone was disparaging the person he loved" and thus not "motivated politically".... "There are people who are trying to pigeonhole this as a leftist thing and a right thing and what we're really talking about -- hear me, because I'm going to throw you when I say this, we're talking about a love torn child, a kid. This is probably his first real relationship. And somebody was disparaging the person that he loved. He sat on that building for 30 minutes before he took the shot. Why do you wait until the first word trans came up? Then he took the shot. I think he could hear it. I think he also -- I don't believe he was motivated politically. I think this was motivated emotionally. I think this was a emotionally stunted person who literally, when I say it this way, just hear me, tried to defend his significant other, not trying to defend some ideology.""
David Pakman @dpakman: "One of the hallmarks of authoritarianism is to terrify people into self-censorship. ABC ending Kimmel's show is the perfect example of this."
A left winger claimed Kimmel's "joke was based (sic) literally facts" and that "I watched the clip ten times now to try and give to right wing MAGAs some benefit of the doubt", then doubled down when I quoted Kimmel and claimed Kimmel didn't mean that Tyler Robinson was a MAGA(t). Luckily, CNBC had better comprehension skills than him so I just threw their interpretation at him
Just in case anyone was wondering, here are Jimmy Kimmel's thoughts about television hosts who get fired for what they say : r/libsofreddit

Payton Alexander on X - "Here’s Hakeem Jeffries threatening Fox News, on official letterhead, explicitly demanding they stop airing content he calls “lies” and “propaganda” just two years ago."
More left wing fake news debunked. But they will carry on spreading misinformation
In 2018, after Roseanne Barr tweeted: “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby = vj”, ABC didn’t hesitate. They canceled her show the same day. ๐ซ๐บ
That night, Jimmy Kimmel applauded the move, saying:
“This wasn’t about free speech… it was about consequences for saying something vile. You can say what you want, but networks don’t have to pay you to say it… Actions have consequences, and ABC made the right call.”
But let’s not forget:
๐ธ Kimmel wore blackface in past comedy sketches — ABC stood by him.
๐ธ Megyn Kelly merely discussed blackface in a Halloween segment — NBC fired her.
So which is it?
๐ CONSEQUENCES FOR THEE… BUT NOT FOR ME? ⚖️
⸻
๐ Judge Mike Carter taught Commercial Speech Law at Mizzou and UMSL through 2014. He sees this not just as a culture war flare-up — but as a textbook example of selective outrage and historical comtext amnesia.
The First Amendment has limits — but they are narrow and intentional:
1. Military secrets
2. Obscenity (Justice Potter Stewart: “I know it when I see it”)
3. Incitement to violence (like yelling fire in a crowded theater)
4. True threats / fighting words
5. Commercial fraud
Outside of that?
Even offensive speech is often protected speech.
⸻
But today, we face something more subtle — and more dangerous:
๐ฅ Systematic speech coercion from behind the curtain.
Thanks to courageous journalists, whistleblowers, and lawsuits, here’s what’s now out in the open:
• ๐ชถ Operation Mockingbird: The CIA’s Cold War-era program to influence the press
• ๐ The Twitter Files: Internal records revealing FBI, DHS, and White House pressure on platforms to suppress or “de-rank” content
• ⚖️ Missouri v. Biden: A federal case exposing systemic government coercion of private tech companies to silence disfavored viewpoints
What changed? ๐ Elon Musk bought Twitter — and opened the vault. That moment let the public see what really happens behind the “moderation” curtain.
But it didn’t stop there.
๐ง⚖️ State Attorneys General like those in Missouri and Louisiana kept digging.
๐ง๐ป Citizen journalists like Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss, and Michael Shellenberger published the receipts.
๐ Internal emails, Slack messages, and moderation logs showed government agencies routinely pressuring platforms to silence certain speech — not based on legality, but ideology.
All of this converged in Missouri v. Biden, a federal case now pulling the curtain on how deep this coordination ran.
⸻
This is bigger than Roseanne, Kimmel, or Kelly. It’s about which speech gets punished… and which gets protected. And who decides.
Judge Carter adds:
“KEEP HISTORY — AND REALITY — IN MIND. THIS GOVERNMENTAL MESSAGE CONTROL ISN’T NEW, AND IT ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE SOON.”
During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln ordered the arrest of editors and the seizure of newspapers — including The New York World and New York Journal of Commerce — after they printed a forged proclamation. He also shut down telegraph lines and jailed journalists like Frank Key Howard for criticizing the administration.

When left wingers admit that they're lying and at some level don't actually believe the poison they spew
Thread by @eugyppius1 on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Remember: Whenever the officially demarcated victim classes of late-stage liberalism commit any crime, their motivation is always individual, specific and at most an artefact of their repression. Whenever the officially demarcated perpetrator classes do the same, their motivation and their guilt is always generalised to everyone sharing their ethnic/political identity. These rigid rules are applied again and again, whatever the facts and in the face of all countervailing evidence.
Victim classes have a collective existence under liberalism only as victims; they perpetrate crimes always as individuals. Perpetrator classes have a collective existence only as perpetrators; they do good and achieve things only as individuals.
“fascism” and “racism” are almost always, at base, violations of these dogmas - ascribing any kind of negative or even neutral collective trait other than victimisation to victim classes, or ascribing any kind of positive trait to perpetrator classes."
