Dear Mr. Josh D’Amaro,
CEO, The Walt Disney Company.
I am writing to you as a concerned American and longtime supporter of the Disney brand and former Disney employee to urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to immediately remove Jimmy Kimmel from ABC’s airwaves.
What began as partisan commentary has now crossed into something far darker: a pattern of reckless, dehumanizing rhetoric that disrespects human life and contributes to the toxic climate of hatred and violence threatening our nation.
Keeping Mr. Kimmel on your network is no longer merely a programming decision—it is a serious and dangerous mistake that reflects poorly on Disney’s values and leadership.
Consider the facts.
On September 15, 2025, following the cold-blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk—your company’s own employee used his national platform to declare:
“The MAGA gang [is] desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
This was not neutral commentary. It was a deliberate attempt to smear millions of Trump supporters and shift blame away from the actual killer before the facts were known. ABC temporarily suspended the show amid justified outrage and FCC scrutiny. Yet Disney chose to reinstate him—an unfathomable decision that signaled tolerance for this kind of inflammatory rhetoric.
Just days ago, on April 23, 2026, Mr. Kimmel escalated further in a pre-taped sketch. Mocking the First Lady of the United States, he said:
“Of course, our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at her, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”
He later claimed this was merely “a light roast joke about their age difference.” Yet he never said that on air. The implication was unmistakable—and chilling: that Melania Trump appears radiant at the prospect of becoming a widow. In the days that followed, another armed gunman stormed the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, marking the third assassination attempt on President Trump in recent years.
Mr. D’Amaro, this is not comedy. This is the kind of dehumanizing language that lowers the threshold for violence. When a major network platform repeatedly portrays the President, his family, and his supporters as legitimate targets for contempt, or worse, violence, it does not entertain; it incites.
Disney has long marketed itself as America’s family entertainment company—the proud steward of Walt Disney’s legacy of wholesome, non-partisan storytelling that brings people together. Yet by protecting and platforming an individual who has shown such blatant contempt for basic human decency, you are allowing that legacy to be stained.
If another act of political violence occurs—and the pattern of escalating rhetoric followed by real-world attempts on the President’s life suggests it very well could—the blood will not be only on the hands of the deranged perpetrator. It will also rest on those who continued to give a national megaphone to the hatred that helped create the climate for it.
The Walt Disney Company once stood for something higher than partisan score-settling. Your viewers—families across America—expect and deserve better. Removing Jimmy Kimmel is not censorship; it is moral leadership.
It is the bare minimum required to restore trust in your brand and to affirm that Disney will not profit from content that disrespects life and fans the flames of division and hatred in America.
I respectfully urge you to act decisively. The eyes of the nation—and history—are watching.
Sincerely,
Rob Schneider
"God is good."
Imagine being alone. Seriously wounded. Behind enemy lines. Deep in the mountains of Iran.
That was the reality for a U.S. Air Force Colonel this past Friday. His F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down over southwestern Iran. He ejected. And then the most terrifying kind of silence began.
He didn't panic. He climbed. He hiked up a 7,000-foot mountain ridgeline on wounded legs. He found a crevice in the rock and crawled inside. He had one weapon. A single handgun. That was it. Between him and capture.
Iranian forces were searching. Getting closer by the hour. The whole country was being told to look for him. To turn him in.
But he was never truly alone.
Back home, the CIA launched a secret deception campaign inside Iran. They spread false information that he had already been found. They bought precious time. Then they used every capability they had to find one American soul hidden in a mountain crevice in enemy territory.
They found him.
Dozens of aircraft. Hundreds of special operations forces. A massive firefight to hold the Iranians back. U.S. planes dropping bombs to clear the mountainside so commandos could reach him. The President watching from the Situation Room.
They brought him home.
Early Sunday morning, President Trump posted two words the whole country needed to see. "WE GOT HIM." The Colonel was seriously wounded. But he is safe. He was flown to Kuwait for treatment. He is going to be just fine.
This is what America does. We do not leave our warriors behind. Not in a mountain crevice in Iran. Not anywhere on this earth.
That man climbed a 7,000-foot mountain with a handgun and held on. And his country moved heaven and earth to come for him. That is the covenant. That is the promise. That has always been the promise.
Share this if you believe in leaving no one behind. This Colonel deserves every prayer and every bit of pride we can give him today.
@leahnavarro Not the same - when you invade a foreign country and you commit crime and fraud, you ought to be arrested and deported or at least be incarcerated. No deaths, the order is not to kill. Tokhang is horrible and Duterte is the worst president ever, no argument to both.
