Jimmy Kimmel made controversial comments about the shooting and murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In his late-night monologue, Kimmel accused the "MAGA gang" (a term referencing Trump supporters) of trying to portray the shooter as anything other than aligned with their group and said they were exploiting Kirk's death for political gain. He also mocked the response of then-President Donald Trump to Kirk's death, saying the president's way of mourning looked like "how a toddler grieves for a goldfish." Kimmel called the killing a "senseless murder" and condemned those who appeared to celebrate it. However, his remarks were widely criticized by conservatives and some others as offensive and misleading, especially because the alleged shooter may not have been politically aligned with MAGA supporters. As a result, ABC suspended Kimmel's show indefinitely, citing the comments as offensive and insensitive during a critical political time. Former President Trump praised ABC's decision and criticized Kimmel's talent and show ratings. Kimmel has so far refused to apologize for his comments.
