"
We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday,” said a statement from the network.
ABC suspended Kimmel indefinitely after comments he made about Kirk, who was killed Sept. 10, in a monologue. Kimmel said “
many in MAGA land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk” and that “
the MAGA gang” was “
desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.”
What happened to Jimmy Kimmel was clear and blatant violation of the
First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech. He was telling the truth, that is what got him in trouble. I for one hope that there NO apology by Mr. Kimmel. His words were clearly taken out of context by people who put Charlie Kirk on pedestal. Kirk is NOT a Martyr. He was a Semite, a Bigot, he was Homophobic, he was misogynistic, he racist. His so-called "Message" was hate pure and simple. Speaking to power is not something MAGA MAGGOTS like. Get over it
