Jimmy Kimmel responded to the tragic shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk by calling for an end to angry finger-pointing and political blame games. On Instagram, Kimmel said, "Can we set aside the angry finger- pointing for just one day and acknowledge that it is appalling and monstrous to take the life of another human being?" He also extended love and condolences to Kirk's family and to all victims of senseless gun violence. On his late-night show, Kimmel criticized supporters of former President Donald Trump, accusing them of trying to politically capitalize on the shooter by painting him as not part of their group. Kimmel mocked Trump's grief response, comparing it to a toddler mourning a pet fish. Kimmel's remarks led to backlash and the suspension of his show on ABC indefinitely.
