Sorry, actually it's not funny…and then again it is.
Explainer: What did Jimmy Kimmel say about Charlie Kirk’s Killing?
In his Monday evening monologue, Kimmel suggested Trump’s Maga allies
wanted to exploit the killing.
Jimmy Kimmel makes Charlie Kirk Comments that see him "indefinitely" taken off Air
When announcing that it would pull Jimmy Kimmel’s programme, the TV station operator Nexstar Media Group called comments the comedian had made about the far-right activist Charlie Kirk’s death
"offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse"
.
Supporters of POTUS Trump praised the decision, and the White House deputy chief of staff called it an example of
"consequence culture"
. However, anti-Trump politicians as well as media figures and free speech organisations have warned it is part of an effort to systematically silence Trump’s critics.
But what did Kimmel actually say to raise the ire of the Maga ("Make America great again") movement?
Maga was attempting to score Political Points from the Killing
During one of his evening monologues – which was recorded before Utah prosecutors released more information about the alleged killer, Tyler Robinson – Kimmel suggested Trump’s political movement wanted to exploit the situation.
"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."
.
It was not clear if Kimmel was suggesting Tyler Robinson was a literal supporter of Maga, or that his alleged political violence was part of a broader shift towards bloodshed and force in USA politics, particularly among the far right. Still, this comment appears to have deeply angered Trump supporters and officials.
Trump says Jimmy Kimmel
"was fired for Lack of Talent"
[

Tyler Robinson’s motive has not been confirmed, although the top prosecutor in Utah county, where Kirk was fatally shot on 10 September, said the suspect – whose family was known to be conservative –
"had become more political and had started to lean more to the left, becoming more pro-gay and trans rights oriented"
.
In an interview on Wednesday, the Trump-appointed head of the USA media regulator, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), said Kimmel had made a
"concerted effort to try to lie to the American people"
. Brendan Carr went on to call Kimmel’s comments an attempt to
"play into a narrative that this was somehow a Maga or Republican-motivated person"
.
Trump was acting like a Four-Year-Old
Kimmel has also mocked Trump for a specific comment he made in response to being asked by a reporter how he was personally
"holding up"
after the assassination of Kirk, who he has said was a friend. Trump had replied saying he was
"very good"
and then immediately started boasting about the new ballroom he is building at the White House.
Kimmel said after the clip:
"This is not how an adult grieves the murder of somebody called a friend.
This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish."

Jimmy Kimmel’s comments on his Tuesday programme.
Trump is either a
"Dictator or just a Dick"
Kimmel referenced an incident in which an Australian journalist was berated by Trump after he asked the POTUS this week how much wealthier he had become since returning to the Oval Office. Trump accused the reporter, John Lyons, who is reporting for Four Corners, of
"hurting Australia"
with the line of questioning, and said that he would raise the issue with the Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese.
Kimmel showed the clip of the exchange and mocked Trump for being a
"little tattletale"
.
He added:
"[Trump] needs to make a decision, do you want to be a dictator or just a dick?"

The pet consumer, liar and slanderer is awake surprisingly early.
Won't help him anymore.

Food for thought…comments to one of the YT-videos above.
The first is an old saying.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Then they came for Jimmy Kimmel and he mocked them quite sarcastically. -

Oh, I stood corrected! ähem
The first YT-comment above isn't an old saying.
It's the poem
"First they came…"
by Martin Niemöller (1892-1984).
He published the poem 1946, short after WWII.
Martin Niemöller
was a national conservative and initially a supporter of Adolf Hitler and a self-identified antisemite. He became one of the founders of the Confessing Church, which opposed the Nazification of German Protestant churches. He opposed the Nazis' Aryan Paragraph.
For his opposition to the Nazis' state control of the churches, Niemöller was imprisoned in Sachsenhausen concentration camp and Dachau concentration camps from 1938 to 1945.
He narrowly escaped execution. After his imprisonment, he expressed his deep regret about not having done enough to help victims of the Nazis.
