Jimmy Kimmel is under fire after remarks about the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
The fallout includes a federal investigation,
his removal from 32 ABC stations, and criticism from Donald Trump.
Trump Responds
Trump seized the moment, saying: “What about Fallon and Meyers?”
He argued that if Kimmel faces punishment, then other late-night hosts like Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers should too —
sparking fresh debate over political bias in comedy.
Federal Review
Reports confirm Kimmel’s comments are under federal review to determine
if they crossed into “dangerous or unlawful speech.”
Supporters call his words protected free speech, while critics say public figures must be held accountable.
Stations Drop Kimmel
Nexstar announced Kimmel’s show will be cut from 32 ABC affiliates, citing “viewer complaints.”
Millions will lose access, making this one of the biggest rebukes ever of a late-night host.
