Disney has pulled popular late night host Jimmy Kimmel off ABC indefinitely,
following remarks he made about the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and do everything they can to score political points from it.
The decision came just hours after the chair of the Federal Communications Commission,
Brendan Carr, criticized Kimmel on a conservative political podcast,
where he suggested the agency could take action against the broadcast licenses of ABC-owned stations.
People familiar with the matter said senior leadership, including Disney CEO Bob Iger,
were among those who decided to pull Kimmel immediately.
We should note that a spokesman for Kimmel said the host had no comment.
