“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” indefinitely suspended by ABC over Kimmel’s comments on Charlie Kirk’s death

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” was suspended indefinitely by ABC after comments Kimmel made regarding Charlie Kirk’s death, according to AP News.

During his show Monday, Kimmel claimed in his opening monologue that Trump supporters were trying to portray the man accused of killing Kirk as anything other than part of  “Make America Great Again” movement.

ABC preempted the show shortly after Nexstar Media Group said its affiliates would stop airing it indefinitely. Nexstar President Andrew Alford said, “Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse.”
