@LaurenShehadi is the best. Congrats on superb post-game coverage tonight. True to her professional code, she will never give up the mic. Not even to Mark Walter.
To be clear: It's not "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel after comments about Charlie Kirk," it's "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel after threats from Trump FCC chair"
The distinction matters here.
David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel: "This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."
Hell has frozen over. Tucker Carlson is calling out the fascist authoritarian Trump regime for insidiously using the assassination of Charlie Kirk as an excuse to abolish the First Amendment, round up Americans, and carry out the Nazification of America.
Buying and controlling media platforms.
Firing commentators.
Canceling shows.
These aren’t coincidences.
It’s coordinated. And it’s dangerous.
The @GOP does not believe in free speech.
They are censoring you in real time.
Don Lemon slams ABC's decision to pull #JimmyKimmelLive from its network indefinitely:
"This is the same party that complains everything is too woke, that comedians can’t say anything anymore, that they’re killing comedy. But the folks who complain about killing comedy are the ones killing comedy. What does that tell you? They don’t believe in anything they’re saying. They have no core. This is some scary sh*t."

🚨NEW: Trump's FCC Commission Chair Brendan Carr is threatening to take away ABC's broadcasting license over a joke made by late night host talk show Jimmy Kimmel.
RETWEET if you stand with @JimmyKimmel against Trump and the authoritarian GOP!
This is Craig Erwich, the President of ABC Entertainment. He has the power to put Jimmy Kimmel back on air.
RETWEET to demand @ABC reinstate Jimmy Kimmel!
🚨THIS IS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT:
Disney is pulling Jimmy Kimmel's show "indefinitely" because he made some comments about Charlie Kirk. Bending the knee to fascism again?
Fuck you, @Disney cowards.
I STAND WITH JIMMY KIMMEL.
