Wrong. He didn't mock Charlie Kirk, and that's not why Nexstar removed him from their stations. They reason they removed him is because the head of the FCC threatened ABC and its affiliates that if they didn't remove Jimmy Kimmel then they would face consequences. Nexstar is currently attempting to merge with another media company and is awaiting FCC approval, and they knew if they didn't do what Trump wanted then they wouldn't get the approval. As Saint Ted Cruz puts it, it was a mafia shake down.

Unfounded demtard conspiracy theory confirmed.
Ahead of ABC pulling “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” indefinitely from the airwaves last week, Carr pushed for the company to take action regarding Kimmel's comments.
"I mean, look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way," Carr said last week. "These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or you know, there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."
You ****ing retard.

No **** Nexstar said that. That's part of being shaken down. You say what you're being forced to say. When you have even Trump bootlicking hacks like Ted Cruz criticizing Trump, then that shows you how far Trump has crossed the line.

They have two groups to worry about. The government and the public. The public has overwhelmingly objected to Nexstar's decision and they rely on this public to watch their programming so they have to keep them happy. That means reversing their decision or lose a lot of money. When it comes to the government, in the days since they removed Jimmy Kimmel, democrats and republicans have united in outrage against the decision, including prominent republicans in Congress like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, so the strength of the FCC chairman's threats has been significantly diminished.

the FCC chairman's threats never meant anything. Nexstar suspended him for his repulsive comments. Nexstar is a woke ****lib company and they could have kept him on and would not have lost any viewers.

I stand corrected
but I maintain they could have kept Kimmel on without losing viewers since pretty much only leftoids watch him
