Disney-owned ABC late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel did not apologize for offending much of the nation when he returned to his show after a one-week suspension. So much for the left-wing narrative that President Donald Trump ripped up the First Amendment and tossed Kimmel off the air.
The controversy began the Monday after Charlie Kirk’s assassination by a Trump- and Kirk-hating left-winger. Kimmel, however, said, “The MAGA gang (is) 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.”
In Kimmel’s returning monologue, he was not just unapologetic, he was defiant. He flat-out denied any intention “to blame any specific group” for Kirk’s assassination. Kimmel said, “It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man.” He added: “Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions. It was a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make …”
Oh, so in truth, he was blaming Freddy Krueger. And shame on those who thought otherwise.
This means Kimmel and Kirk’s “kid” assassin have two things in common: Both are Trump-despising leftists, and both have been forgiven — the assassin by Erika Kirk at Charlie’s memorial, and Kimmel by Disney — without one iota of contrition.
This brings us to Van Jones, CNN political commentator. Several days after Kirk’s assassination, Jones wrote: “The day before he was horrifically murdered, Charlie Kirk sent me a direct message on X.
