While many Americans have spent the last 13 days mourning the assassination of conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, Democrats have been using most of their time and efforts to rally around… hater and late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel. Yes, the late-night host who couldn’t hold an audience if you stapled them to his chair. But nevertheless, he’s a spreader of Trump misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, and outright lies and the Dems have wanted him back in a BIGLY way.
Why did Kimmel leave the airwaves in the first place? It was a “pretend” suspension of his show by ABC/Disney for his inappropriate comments about Charlie Kirk supporters after his assassination – and the lie that MAGA was behind it.
His words: “The MAGA gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
Besides the lie, it’s also ridiculous that Kimmel called the (alleged) assassin a “kid.”
The REAL surprise, however, was that his show was actually put on hold at all – because Kimmel has said much worse in the past about Trump and his supporters.
But now he’s back [1] (tonight) and the X-verse of leftists is all agog celebrating their fervent Trump-hater – and what they see as a HUUUUUUGE victory against their #1 enemy, Donald J. Trump.
This is big: Jimmy Kimmel is coming back!
This is about fighting for free speech and against these abuses by Donald Trump and Brendan Carr.

For everyone who spoke up and said Trump’s censorship of Kimmel is wrong, your voice mattered.
This fight isn’t over. Trump won’t stop corruptly pressuring media companies. CEOs must not bend the knee to secure mergers and regulatory favors.
The First Amendment is not for sale.

The Left needed their clown back on TV, because nothing screams “democracy” and “free speech” like giving airtime to a guy whose entire shtick is hating Donald Trump and his supporters. That’s not comedy. It’s a monologue in search of psychological help.
Kimmel has long been the king of late-night irrelevance with ratings that have been flatter than a Michigan backroad in February. But in the world of the left, ratings don’t matter – Trump hate does and they can’t lose any of their TDS soldiers. So the Dems have been elevating Kimmel up as a free- speech martyr now turned champion.
But what is he really? A guy whose punchlines are as stale as week-old bread but who knows how to say “Orange Man Bad” with enough venom to keep his corporate overlords and his handful of viewers happy.
