Kimmel Faces Backlash After Trump Joke Before WHCA Shooting

Last fall, he faced backlash after comments tied to the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

At the time, Kimmel suggested the suspect was part of the “MAGA gang,” drawing sharp criticism. The remarks prompted a response from Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr, who raised concerns about the network.

The lawyer added that the situation reflects poorly on the company’s leadership

Disney temporarily took Kimmel off the air following that controversy. The move sparked protests outside the company’s offices in Burbank, California, and led to subscription cancellations across Disney’s streaming platforms.
