He strongly implied it.Did he say this:If I’m being pedantic, he didn’t say it was a right winger who did this. He said right wingers were frantically trying to convince themselves that it was a left winger who did this.
Which is true.
Even if it turned out to be true.
That said, it was Nexstar that originally said they weren’t going to air Kimmel anymore. I’m guessing ABC figured they wouldn’t be the only ones so they acted.
That's not being pedantic. It's being correct. He didn't say what he's accused of saying.
"The MAGA Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them"
As far as I know, yes, he did. And I'm not surprised he took heat for it. Personally, I think he's right, but that doesn't make it appropriate to notice out loud at this point in time. But that's hardly the issue we're discussing here, is it? We're discussing whether or not he claimed Kirk's killer was a right-winger. Which he didn't.
Implication is in the eye of the viewer/listener. Did he make the claim or not? No.
And it's part of a concerted effort that took place that led Mr. Highlife, for example, to say "it's becoming clear" that the dude was a groyper. He played right into that false narrative. Will the people who peddled it ever be held to account? Nope.@bradstevens there is no other connection from that quote
You can whattabout all day long about the other side that isn't held to account but if you don't police your own, no one else will, and that makes those people the equivalent of those they despise.

Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment. Keep America free.
He was fired by his private sector employer. The First Amendment does not protect him in this instance. You progressives should be directing your anger at the FCC chairman…as he should not have been involved. But…the outcome is a good one
It’s clear as day from the quote. Goat must not have his cheaters on. Bottom line. FAFO. Give that slot to one of the McMahon kids. Who is next? That Seth host guy?
You're going to have to interpret statements in light of cultural context and history to play at this level, Mr. Goat.He strongly implied it.Did he say this:If I’m being pedantic, he didn’t say it was a right winger who did this.

Stupid indirect censorship which threatens the Constitution. Kimmel is a fool best ignored. This will strengthen the left - who is at their weakest since Hillary declared all Trump voters “deplorable.”
I deplored the weaponization of government by Obama, and this is no better. Both parties now view the federal government as the answer to everything, and the Founders view of limited and separated powers has fallen to The Gavel Hammers.
The current cycle of hate speech between the radical fringes is the worst since the 1840’s.

This may be true but, as much as I hate siding with Goat, he and I are both right here.
Kimmel did NOT say it was a right winger who murdered Charlie Kirk.
He said right wingers were REALLY hoping it was an anyone but one of their own who killed Kirk.
That’s substantially different.
Kimmels an asshole and I don’t give a shit about his show getting canceled but let’s be accurate about what he actually said.

FWIW, I don't like you agreeing with me, either.
@hoopsdoc correct. He didn’t say he was a right winger. His radicalization is no different than maga is the inference. birds of a feather. That’s worthy of being dumped. The implication that maga is that bad too.
he pretzeled this grisly event into an attempt to attack the right per usual. Cool. ABC doesn’t want it.
@mcm666 🤣 🤣 🤣 all it took was Donald J Trump to fix America. LET.HIM.COOK. By the way you're going to love Zionsville. The talent is incredible. Also, they got this little pie store. It's fabulous.
Quoting Charlie Kirk verbatim is inappropriate? Hmmm....
