Jimmy Kimmel made controversial comments about Charlie Kirk after Kirk was fatally shot. On his late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Kimmel accused the "MAGA gang" (supporters of Donald Trump) of trying to portray the shooter as anything other than one of them and doing everything to score political points from the tragedy. He criticized the political exploitation surrounding Kirk's death and mocked President Donald Trump's response to the shooting, saying Trump seemed to grieve like a toddler mourning a goldfish rather than an adult mourning a friend. Kimmel also showed clips of Trump discussing unrelated topics at the White House while being asked about Kirk's death, ridiculing his reaction. These comments led to significant backlash, including a suspension of Kimmel's show by ABC indefinitely and criticism from the FCC chairman Brendan Carr, who said Kimmel misled the public about the shooter's political motives. Former President Trump praised ABC's suspension of Kimmel's show, calling it "great news for America" and criticizing Kimmel’s talent and ratings.
