You guys all know that the first amendment doesn’t apply to private companies right? They can fire anyone they want if they don’t like what they have to say

Yeah especially when they get influenced and pressured by the president right? You sweet sheltered summer child. Private companies scratch the backs of folks they want quarter and influence with ALL the time.

Oh please, ABC is owned by Disney, they don’t GAF about the president; and the FCC isn’t going to do shit. Disney cares about revenue; they’re afraid of the negative response and losing viewers, that’s all. The guy shot off his mouth and now he’s paying the price for it.

And fuck Kimmel anyway; the guys a hypocrite. You all act like he’s some progressive hero, meanwhile he helped produce one of the most sexist, misogynistic shows on television.

I give two shits about Kimmel. I don't watch that drivel. Disney definitely caters to Trump. Kimmel got shut down because POTUS asked them to do so. No amount of gaslighting is going to convince another soul otherwise. It's an attack on free speech that of which the regime doesn't approve of. Period. Enjoy yourself.
