September 25, 20251 yr Author "I want to know why you support a president who contributes to the rhetoric that got your friend Charlie killed,” a student asked Kelly during the debate. "You saw his rally recently, he said, ‘I hate my enemies.’ Stephen Miller said similar things. How can you support him when he contributed to what got Charlie killed?”After Kelly replied, "What you said is not true,” the student screamed, "70% of political violence is committed by Republicans! Look it up! DOJ just pulled it! The DOJ just pulled it from their website!”"First of all, let me take on the first premise of your question, that it was President Trump’s rhetoric that led to an assassin killing our friend Charlie Kirk. That’s a blatant lie,” said Kelly, before calling the suggestion "defamatory” and "inappropriate in this setting.” Student: That’s not what I said. Kelly: Yes it is. Student: No, I said he contributed to the political atmosphere, the tension. Kelly: Well, then you have no point. Then your point is utterly empty. Contributing to the atmosphere? No, let’s just make clear. Let’s just make clear. This guy was motivated by leftist ideology. We know it from the bullet casings, we know it from the Utah governor, we know it from his own mother. Yes, we do! Let’s be really clear on that. Student: Let’s say this guy’s a leftist, even if that’s true, does that make it okay for the sitting president of the United States to incite violence against liberals? Kelly: The president of the United States has not incited violence against liberals. The president of the United States made a joke at the Charlie Kirk memorial which was funny and self-deprecating. It was on the heels of Erika Kirk saying she, in an extraordinary moment, forgave her husband’s killer. Let me finish. And then President Trump got up and, making a joke, playing off what Erika said, he said, "We disagree. I need to do better, Erika’s going to try to convince me, but I’m in a different place,” and that’s completely normal for a politician to be thinking about his political fights. And by the way, Trump has every right to loathe his enemies. They tried to put him in jail for the rest of his life.

September 25, 20251 yr canceled from what? posting tens of thousands of tweets per hour?that would be a travesty
September 25, 20251 yr On 9/23/2025 at 12:44 AM, DrPhilly said:The issue isn’t that ABC suspended Kimmel. The issue is that Trump and the FCC essentially dictated the action. Even Ted Cruz weighed in to explain how dangerous that sort of approach is to all sides.Did they dictate his return to? You don't get to have it both ways.
September 25, 20251 yr 2 minutes ago, The_Omega said:Did they dictate his return to? You don't get to have it both ways.Uhhh, Trump has threatened to take legal action against ABC now given that they brought Kimmel back. Did you not see the Trump Truth post that I put up in here?
September 25, 20251 yr 2 minutes ago, DrPhilly said:Uhhh, Trump has threatened to take legal action against ABC now given that they brought Kimmel back. Did you not see the Trump Truth post that I put up in here?But they did bring him back. Are you suggesting they suddenly grew a spine? No, they made a business decision and their "talent" threw a tantrum and forced them to keep a money loser on the air.

September 25, 20251 yr just remember, trump did this. DiscussingFilm on X: "Jimmy Kimmel’s show had 6.3M viewers last night. Most-watched regular episode ever, despite not being shown in some major U.S. cities. https://t.co/kQDHAPjFEX" / X
September 25, 20251 yr 21 minutes ago, The_Omega said:Did they dictate his return to? You don't get to have it both ways.No. The loss of massive amounts of money dictated his return.
September 25, 20251 yr 22 minutes ago, barho said:No. The loss of massive amounts of money dictated his return.Yes, market forces dictated both events. And yes, Trumps statements and tweets are not helpful (except to Democrats).
September 25, 20251 yr There were multiple corporations at work here. Mediastar and Clear Channel wanted him off at the behest of the FCC so they can raise the cap on the amount of local stations they can buy. (Far right corporations owning almost every local tv station in the country is also alarming by the way.) That hasn't changed. Mediastar and Clear Cannel still aren't airing the show.

That should create an exquisite dilemma.
