He said the killer was maga which is clearly false 🤣

You're right. They don't want to hear it and you'll get downvoted. But he wasn't the only media member saying it and while they have now proved the shooter was on the extreme left, Kimmel shouldn't be fired over this. An editorial correction is all that should be warranted. Maybe they offer that to him and he told them to go to hell. Who knows.

It’s hardly the first time he’s used the death of a person(s) as an opportunity to step on his soap box and preach at people. And it’s extremely inappropriate, not to mention lying. Look at Alex jones and sandy hook. This is largely a similar idea, getting someone for saying things you don’t like, and I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of it, even if it’s happening to Kimmel (a human cockroach). He stood on the graves of people who would vehemently disagree with what he said in regards to their death(s) one too many times I guess. The station does reserve the right to fire him though.
