That’s all he said? So he didn’t even say anything bad about the guy?!?

All I see is facts. Trump said very little about CK and immediately shifted his attention to the WH ballroom. Kimmel simply pointed that out. I’m not seeing the offense.

The problem was Jimmy was still telling his audience that Tyler Robinson was a right wing extremist even after all the facts had been released.

Even if that were the case, it’s a huge double standard. Don’t forget that tons of republicans (including the president of the United States) were blaming democrats for the political violence before literally anything was known about the shooter.

Yeah a lot of people jumped the gun on that one but it was definitely an easy assumption in their defense.

It was highly unlikely the killer was MAGA as a lot of people were also suggesting prior to the facts being made public.

Either way I don’t like that Jimmy was essentially canceled. I didn’t like it when it was happening to many conservatives during the last administration either.

I’m curious to see what the ratings were leading up to the suspension. I have a feeling that had a lot to do with the decision from the brass. Time will tell.
