Kimmel Just Alex Jones-ed Himself… And The Public Reactions Are PRICELESS!
He's so vain, he probably thinks it's someone else's fault
Remember how loudly Kimmel and his buddies crowed when cancel culture came to deep-six people on the right, ranging from Alex Jones, to Rosanne Barr, to the sitting President of these United States? Well he’s not laughing anymore.
Jimmy Kimmel — who is remembered for featuring girls on trampolines on the ‘Man show’ and talking like he had an IQ of 12 while wearing blackface before becoming a full-time political shill — saw public opinion had shifted HARD against the murder of Charlie Kirk.
As a party-line guy accustomed to using his show as a platform for protecting whatever ridiculous lie the left is pushing in any given week, the possiblity of having Charlie’s death as an albatross around their neck, this close to mid-term elections was unthinkable.
While most of us were appalled when he made up some obvious nonsense about Robinson being ‘MAGA’ and how DARE the right politicize…
*checks notes*
… the political assassination of a uniquely talented and influential voice in the conservative movement?None of us were surprised. It’s just the Woke Pope doing his regularly-scheduled nightly shilling for Blue-anon extremist talking points.
The backlash came hard and fast. The damning known facts of the case didn’t help him any, either.
Kimmel Gets Put In Time Out
Yesterday, Sinclair Inc (the largest ABC affiliate group) announced they would NOT be running his shows on their networks for an unspecified future. They have no intention of airing his programs until ABC gives assurances about the network’s professionalism and accountabilty. It also calls on Kimmel to give a genuine apology to the family and a meaningful donation to TPUSA.
Nexstar, another affiliate, made the same decision to cut Kimmel loose for the forseeable future because his rhetoric does not align with their values.
Prediction? It’ll be a cold day in Hell before Kimmel agrees to such terms. He’d rather play the martyr than admit the Red Team is actually human.
In reality, ABC suspending the taping of his show is more likely to be damage control. The network is still stinging from the $15M lawsuit they settled with Trump. How do they REALLY think the damage awards are going to look supposing Charlie’s widow invoked the Sandy Hook case as precedent? The ’emotional harm’ damages alone…
The Hand Wringing
The usual clowns on the left lined up to defend Kimmel and wring their hands in outrage over the Free Speech implications of [checks notes] corporations deciding cut loose talent saying things that will get them sued into oblivion.
On CNN, Van Jones is calling it *yawn* a ‘red line’ crossed by our industry. Blah, blah, free speech, blah blah ‘nothing hateful’ was said.
Brian Stelter, at least was accidentally funny. He asked the FCC chair if he had any comment about the cancellation of Kimmel’s show and apparently Brendan Carr responded with the ‘raise the roof’ GIF from The Office.
Free speech, huh? I seem to remember when you nuked an ENTIRE social media platform so that you could effectuate the total black-out of a sitting president’s access to the internet. That was coordinated.
One person is taking particular delight in the Cancel Culture left suddenly thinking that a person — especially a comic — should not be cancelled for their opinions.
Remember Roseanne Barr who got her super-successful show nuked, including syndication of the groundbreaking original one ! — because she mocked the haircut of someone close to Obama?
She’s coming back to take the last laugh as Kimmel gets the same treatment she did… for far more justifiable reasons.
