Trump's former confidant, Elon Musk, expresses his disapproval after the late-night show hosted by Jimmy Kimmel gets cancelled: "Despicable..."
In a surprising turn of events, Disney's ABC has pulled the plug on Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show following a series of controversial remarks made by the host. The decision has become a trending topic, sparking debates about free speech and censorship.
Last week, Charlie Kirk, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, was shot dead during a speaking event at a Utah university campus. The shooting has been referred to as "the sickest conduct possible" by Federal Communications Commission's chief Brendan Carr. A 22-year-old named Tyler Robinson has been arrested and formally charged with murder after reportedly firing a rifle from a rooftop, hitting Kirk in the neck with a single bullet.
Jimmy Kimmel made comments criticizing attempts by Trump supporters to politicize the case. His remarks, which are not specified in this article, sparked outrage among Trump supporters, leading to the suspension of Kimmel's show. Elon Musk, billionaire and former friend of Donald Trump, criticized Kimmel's statement, accusing him of trying to portray Kirk's alleged killer as not one of them and of exploiting the incident for political gain.
Donald Trump reacted to the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show on Truth Social, celebrating the decision and stating that Jimmy Kimmel has "ZERO" talent. He also compared Kimmel's ratings to those of Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon on NBC.
Federal Communications Commission's chief Brendan Carr threatened to take action against ABC, including pulling licences of all its local stations. The exact implications of this threat remain unclear at this time.
As the dust settles, the future of Jimmy Kimmel's career and his show remains uncertain. The controversy has undoubtedly left a lasting impact on the late-night talk show landscape.
