I’m wondering why he would remark on something that is of a sensitive subject to many. Just pay respects and move on to a funny subject of the night. Is it he doesn’t think like that or just insensitive on the matter? Seems odd
The problem isn`t about Kirk getting killed . It was how he showed that trump doesn`t care about Kirk now that he is dead . Kimmel showed a clip where trump was asked about how he was taking the death of Kirk . And trump made a quick answer then went into talking about his ballroom that no body wants . The truth being shown to the world upset trump .
Outraged that Disney caved! Kimmel monologues pale in comparison to the demonizing name calling and vitriol emanating from Fox on a daily basis. But I guess that is ok??. Why have there not been similar repercussions to the disgusting broadcasting on Fox about people who have different opinions than them since the Kirk murder? Kimmel simply expressed his opinion that MAGA blamed everyone but themselves for this violent unacceptable murder. I think it’s called freedom of speech.
I have cancelled my planned holiday trip to Disney World and hope others who are as disgusted and enraged will take similar steps and spread the word.
Kimmel didn’t get fired because he criticized the President, you loon. He got canceled because he bold-faced lied about the killer and attempted to create more division over this.
That sounds correct. If you have not seen them you could look it up how many Senators have gone off the rails of hatred. Such a shame.
OS I thought the show was supposed to be similar to Johnny Carson type shows
You`re just upset that the killer wasn`t some left wing radical . The boy was brought up in a maga household that is pro guns . It was your dear leader who got upset by the fact that Kimmel showed the world how he only cared about Kirk when he could use him . Now that he is dead after the funeral you can bet trump will forget that Kirk ever lived . When are you going to understand that trump uses people and then throws them away ? Just look at Rudy and all those others who lost their careers and everything because they defended him . Just like that Ambassador from England . The guy had known trump for years . And now that he was linked to Epstein trump says he never met him .
Please provide specific examples of “demonizing name calling and vitriol” that are comparable in any way to 10 years of calling half the country “nazi”. YOU are the problem.
I’m canceling my subscriptions and selling anything Disney. Trump doesn’t like the Freedom of speech unless it’s positive for him. Everyone needs to read and understand our constitution!
You’re not doing that… you’re commenting on a Disney board; you have no convictions to go cold turkey on Disney. Grow up. Kimmel LIED on TV and paid the price for lying; has nothing to do with infringement on his speech.
He didn’t lie about anything. He made a joke regarding Trump. Trump doesn’t like anyone saying anything negative about him. Freedom of Speech is being taken away from us due to the orange wimp who’s feelings got hurt.
He didn`t lie about a thing . He showed the truth about how trump really feels about Kirk . I know you didn`t watch a second of the show and like most magas you just do what dear leader says . If you took the time to watch it you would have seen how trump doesn`t care about Kirk or anyone other than himself . When asked about Kirk he started talking about his gold plated brothel of a ballroom .
By your statement that makes you a hateful righty who should lose his job if you even have one . I guess you`re not big on freedom of speech unless it is your speech ? Keep following dear leader and soon you will be speaking Russian .
Jimmy Kimmel should’ve been fired and never returned for his horrible performance & fake tears. Jimmy saying he was trying to make light of Kirk’s death is evil, unethical, & he has a sensitivity chip missing.
I just canceled my Disney/Hulu membership.
So a comment made by a comedian on a late night talk show that was way more a criticism of how Trump and crew were using this tragedy than it was about the tragedy itself, prompted Trump and the FCC to bully one of the biggest most powerful companies in the world… and that company caved?
I’ve been planning a trip for next week. We used to go every couple months and havent in 2 years. Too much has been spent already to cancel. I really hope Bobby says the right thing, and soon.
I’ve received fund raising text messages purportedly from Mrs. Kirk, using her husband’s murder. Kimmel spoke truth and is being punished. Disney might want to check with Target how craving to orchestrated rage goes.
Typical MAGAt response. Guess what? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander…… remember that as your rights are stripped away one-by- one. Trust me, the dictator and his grifting cronies do not and will not discriminate between who will be a happy Amerikkkan…..
Since Disney is a majority owner of ESPN, I will not be watching the rest of the WNBA playoffs unless Jimmy Kimmel is put back on air. I will not be even a small part of this censorship. My kids will not be going to Disney parks. We will not be watching Disney movies. We will not be giving Disney a cent unless this decision is reversed.
The show is most definitely NOT divisive unless you support fascism and are anti-American.
Consumers must take action. They must pay for caving to fascists #BoycottDisney

The first amendment rights does not entitle ANYONE to celebrate or even encourage a fellow American’s murder. That goes against the laws of humanity! RESPECT one another’s opinions not kill them for what they say. What have we become as a people?
So let me see if I understand this correctly. When Disney cancels someone on the right, it’s justified and not a violation of their free speech. When they cancel someone on the left, it’s a violation of their free speech and unacceptable. So basically if the person thinks like you it’s okay. If they don’t they’re out. Whatever happened to the same rules applying to everyone. Come on people, we can do better than this.
first disney has to cancel anyone on the right before you can say that in truth . And the problem is they cancelled someone because he hurt dear leaders ego by showing how he really feels about Kirk`s death . When are you going to understand that trump doesn`t care about you , me or the United States of America ? He only cares about himself and how much he can make .
So many anti Trump morons. Free speech is not being taken away. You can say whatever you want. However the place of business does not have to employ you. If it goes against their believes or business practices.
I bet you bought a room full of that Chinese made junk that trump sells . Why do you think that your employer has the right to tell you what to say and think ? Now get off the computer and take one of those farm jobs you cried about illegals taking away from you .
ABC made the correct decision concerning Kimmel. He lied to America because Charlie’s killer did not fit the liberal political narrative. The truth is that some LGBTQ individuals are confused, angry and violent. But I believe ABC should have fired Kimmel long ago. He is so political, his show is neither funny nor entertaining. Kimmel is unwatchable. He has alienated half of America. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
No he showed how trump really feels about Kirk . That is why he was fired . You didn`t watch the show and see what upset dear leader . Kimmel showed a reporter asking trump about Kirk`s death . trump gave a quick nonsense answer and went off talking about his gold plated ballroom that no body wants . His concern about anyone only extends to the point he doesn`t need them anymore . Give it a couple of weeks and he will say he never met Kirk just like he says he didn`t know Epstein that well .
Man I hope Disney is finally going back to what they were before all this garbage. I cant go into my job lie and say horrible crap and not think there are consequences. Trump had nothing go do with it. Is he happy sure just like 75% of the world. It was the FCC and the fake his rating were terrible. This now gave them what they need to say good bye. Fox News is a private copy. Also they don’t lie they give you FACTS also show what CNN AND MSNBS are saying. They literally take the clip from their shows. They are nuts.
Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel good .But remember to keep your papers on you at all times . You never know when you`re going to be stopped by trump`s gestapo and have to prove you`re a citizen .
Good riddance to Jimmy Kimmel!!! I may stand with “Freedom of Speech” but I do not stand with “Biased Hate Speech”.
If it had been a conservative media person fired over their comments, the leftists would not be boo hooing over “free speech”. No one should be free to speak and spread hate. No media person should be biased and give their personal opinions about something and for sure should not cheer over the death of a good man and good father. Put yourself in Charlie’s widow’s place. Would you want the media laughing over your spouse’s death? No, you wouldn’t.
As a Trump supporter I never watched Kimmel. He was too biased to the left, which no news media should be, as they shouldn’t be biased to the right either. They’re job is to tell the news without giving their personal political opinions.
Did you say that about all the jokes right wingers were making about Paul Pelosi or anyone else on the left who was killed or injured ? Did you say anything about trump juniors posts about Pelosi ? No your only object when it is about who you support . You magas love to call people snowflakes but you are the ones who have a meltdown when someone says something you don`t like . I will make you a bet . Let`s meet someplace and you can tell a room full of Liberals a joke about Biden and then we can go to a maga bar and you can tell a joke about trump . I will bet you 100 dollars that the Liberals will just ignore you but the magas will threaten you .
Hopefully Disney is going back to their family-oriented ways. I may be able to go to a “children’s” movie with my family and not have to worry about some LBBGGTTQQ or whatever all of a sudden being thrown in. Gender dysphoria needs to be treated by a psychiatrist and not condoned or treated by medical or surgical castration. How sick is the term transgender children? How many people actually watch late night? Most if not all of us conservatives have jobs to go to in the morning. Jimmy spewed angry, non-entertaining leftist propaganda. Even a sponsor would think twice about paying for that kind of exposure. Jimmy was on his way out anyway. The show is a money pit trying to be kept relevant by leftists. Look up the word fascist when you get a chance. Don’t cherry pick what is and is not allowed. Look up socialist and what the new leftist golden boy running for the mayor of New York is all about. Stop regurgitating what others say and educate yourself. Charlie Kirk always explained his views with reasoning and statistics. He always welcomed other views and treated people with respect. He was murdered in front of his family. Trying to tell a joke around the circumstances of someone’s assassination is seriously wrong. Maybe Jimmy needs some help. Turning Point USA will continue on and honor Charlies life’s work. Be a part of it, donate, even a little from all of us will go a long way in fixing the mess that was created the previous four years.
