I hate how all these news reports completely misguide why Kimmel was suspended.

It wasn't "remarks about Charlie Kirk" (vague). Nor was it "contraversial comments about Charlie Kirk" (not contraversial!)

He literally just stated facts. He said Trump and the GOP were lying about the assassin being part of a far left (or left at all) political persuasion.

They fucking are lying about this. It's an objective fact. They are using the death of this man to spread hate, lies, and anger. It's a divisive tactic to turn Americans against one another.

Not only that, his joke was about how Fascist 47 had already moved on, instead of actually grieving.
