    the offensive comments:

    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 doing everything they can to score political points from it,

      I was so certain that he was being cancelled over something else that he said, but no!

      I watched the whole video here and that was it! In addition to some regular dunking on Trump about how he was in the 4th stage of Denial, Construction.

      This is absolute insanity.

    Mocking Donald Trump as well, Kimmel said on his show Monday: “We hit 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 doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

    That is so tame. And accurate.

    Well I mean what do you expect? it’s a fascist country, that’s what facists do.

    you think Nazi Germany allowed anti-party rhetoric or even anything that they could consider remotely offensive to them? no. they got rid of those people.

    Americans, please don’t allow yourselves to become more Nazi than you already are.

      What are we supposed to do? I always imagined in Nazi Germany that the govt was working against the wishes of the people and they just didn’t fight back but Americans seem to constantly celebrate being stepped on and now I’m thinking maybe the Germans did too. I just never could have imagined humanity was capable of ignorance of this scale.

        Germans did in fact like being stepped on just the same and when the war was over one of the biggest immediate issues of the allies was the de-nazification of the remaining population. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazification

        Leaders like these tend to be a symptom of a deeper systemic issue, rather than a pesky bug you could just squash and move on.

    Extra crazy because he didn’t even speak poorly of Charlie or say any distasteful comments. He didn’t even really make a statement about the situation at all. He just said MAGA is trying to categorize the shooter as not them and played some clips of Trump being 100000x more interested in the new Whitehouse ballroom than the public assassination of his dear friend.

    You can’t cancel someone over comments they didn’t make. This is pandering, plain as day. Same reason Colbert got canceled.

      Colbert cancellation was more clever. There are numbers that they could point to (though others that paint him well). They gave him a few months to finish things out. It was temporally too close to the merger talks but besides that the façade could’ve been worse.

      This time it’s a nakedly anti-1A FCC. :(
