Kimmel has been taken off the air indefinitely by ABC for saying Kirk's death has been cynically politicised and turned into a fake flashpoint to attack the left.
You can easily find what Kimmel said reported verbatim but it's enough to say it was rather mild, bland anti-GOP sentiment.
Kimmel's suspension by ABC happened shortly after Trump's media administrator threatened ABC's licence.
Let's be real, the idea Jimmy Kimmel is a hardcore left-wing political agitator is laughable. Kimmel is absolute milquetoast.
Meanwhile Fox and Friends is trucking along fine after recently hosting a dialogue in which one of the pundits called for homeless people to be executed by lethal injection.
If you bought into moral panics about "wokeism ruining everything" or you thought the trajectory to this point was a matter of different views needing to get a fair hearing, it's never too late to get on the right side of history.
It could hardly be more blatant that we're looking at an authoritarian political force that, among many things it's doing, is using every means available to shut down its critics.
