Kimmel wasn't claiming the shooter was MAGA. He said the right is trying to paint him as not MAGA, which is exactly what they have been doing. Both sides have been pointing fingers despite us still not knowing if the shooter had any strong political ideology at all. So are the right wing tv hosts have been claiming the shooter is a leftist when it has not been proven going to be taken off the air too? Personally I hope not, because I don't support cancel culture like you right wingers do.
Two days ago Trump threatened an ABC reporter to his face that he was going to go after their network. The next day the FCC threatened to have ABC's broadcasting license revoked. It's a pretty simple connection to make.

Yes he was… it was indirect, but unmistakable.

Let's take a look at a few links confirming that.

Dear Santa,
For Christmas I would like it if you could put all the FB MAGAs in a room and let them all fight it out until there is a last man standing and let me push a button to put poison in there to make sure they are all dead.
Thank you.

I lOVE free speech, and everyone has a right to say what they want within reason and not expect interference
from the government.
That's what the First Amendment says.
Everyone in America has
freedom of speech
, but sometimes it comes with
consequences.
ABC and distributors of the show are
Kimmel's bosses,
and as such, they have the right to punish him if he says something they disagree with.
When I was employed, if I said something my company didn't like,
they had the right to fire me,
and that would NOT be an infringement of my free speech rights.
MAGA! FAFO!

If you do not think that fascist dictator Trump Cunt and his Project 25 agenda did not have any kind of influence on taking away Kimmel's Constitutional rights then I have the Trump Tower to sell you.

It is interference from the government which is a violation of JK's free speech rights.
WASHINGTON – During a podcast earlier today, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr criticized a monologue by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, televised earlier this week, that had focused on Trump supporters' work to try to make sure that MAGA supporters were not seen as responsible for the killing of Charlie Kirk.
Carr specifically called on ABC affiliates to inform ABC that they would not carry Kimmel's show, and pointed out the power that the FCC has over the broadcasting licenses of the affiliates.

Such a bullshit way to say you don't support free speech.
So you are a liar when you say you do since you are on the side of his show being suspended.
Which means you have no clue what free speech really means you stupid drunk mother ****er.

No, I do
not.
And Kimmel has
not
lost his free speech. He just can't use it for the time being
on ABC.
He could start a podcast, or go to Netflix or YouTube.
And remember, it was
ABC
who suspended him,
not
the government. Freedom of speech refers to freedom from
government suppression.
It does
not
apply to
employers.
ABC is his
employer,
and as such, has
the right to fire him.
For some strange reason, you leftards seem unable to grasp this basic truth.
And actually, I hope
he comes back,
so Gutfeld and FoxNews can continue to ridicule his
stupidity and hate.

Funny how you didn't understand the difference between government censorship and public backlash until January of this year.
Also the government threatening someone's broadcast licenses if they don't fire somebody just because a talk show host made them up is literal government censorship, dipshit.
