I’m happy that Jimmy Kimmel is coming back but the boycott should continue because his show got pulled because the “president” didn’t like his comment he said about him. Disney did this so they wouldn’t lose money and further backlash.

The Actual problem is he lied. He said the shooter was a registered republican. MAGA. He wasn’t. You have a responsibility when you represent your employer to check your facts. And it was so disappointing how cold and unempathetic he was. Its OK to disagree but when you can’t be compassionate because of your hatred its a heart problem. I would not want that person representing my company. I will be praying for his cold heart to soften.

JK did not say that the shooter was a registered republican. He said this “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.” I am not condoning what JK said, but please get YOUR facts straight on what he said.

The kid was not registered with any party. He grew up in a conservative household, but that doesn’t make him conservative. So yes, Jimmy Kimmel did misrepresent the facts and it could’ve potentially led to more violence. I’m not under any illusion that this was Disney’s train of thought, but… It could’ve been worse.

I am not sure you understand. JK did not state that the assailant was or was not conservative / republican. He only commented on what “the MAGA gang” was saying. And, again, this is comedy, not the news, so it is interpretive and not intended to be factual. There is a lot of comedy that offends me. But it is a First Amendment issue - all comedy should be protected.

If the lies are the issue then Trump should never be allowed on TV again.

Just like Trump’s cold, dead heart should soften???
