Monday and Tuesday nights, including that “many in MAGA land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk.”.

Jimmy Kimmel departed his studio in Hollywood on Wednesday as protesters gathered outside after ABC announced that his late-night show had been indefinitely suspended.

ABC, which has aired Kimmel’s late-night show since 2003, moved swiftly after Nexstar Communications Group said it would pull the show starting Wednesday.

Kimmel’s comments about Kirk’s death “are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse,” said Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division.

He said the comic appeared to be making an intentional effort to mislead the public that Kirk’s assassin was a right-wing Trump supporter.

The move comes as the president, his administration and political party have stepped up their effort to police speech about Kirk’s death. »
