📺 ABC suspends ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ “indefinitely” over Charlie Kirk comments

THR

Kimmel’s original comments were as follows: “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.”
