US TV network ABC has pulled late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air “indefinitely” over recent comments by the late night host about Charlie Kirk’s death.
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel insinuated Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin was a member of the “MAGA gang” while mocking President Donald Trump’s response to his death during his show Monday night.
The Jimmy Kimmel Live host brought up the matter during his monologue and claimed right-wing critics were hitting “new lows” trying to frame the suspect, 22-year-old Utah native Tyler Robinson, as someone who wasn’t “MAGA.”
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said.
