- US President Trump criticized the return of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
- Trump has accused ABC TV of supporting the Democratic Party.
- The show was downloaded for the controversial commentary of Jimmy Kimmel.
- Before returning the show, she was boycotted by more local TVs.
The show, which is a combination of news and entertainment, was withdrawn from the broadcast for an indefinite time after Kimmel – according to the US Conservatives – inappropriately commented on the murdered activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel said that the Maga Trumpistic Movement was trying to chase political capital from this murder, and also criticized the withdrawal of the flags on half a pole on government buildings as a sign of mourning behind Kirk. Under the pressure of criticism, TV with Kimmel’s show withdrew from the broadcast, but after a week she put it in the program again.
Kimmel’s show will not be available in all households in the US – several local television stations belonging to Nexstar networks and Sinclair continues to boycott this well -known moderator who has been criticizing Trump for a long time.
Show described as democratic waste
The return of Kimmel’s show Trump was surprised – in his post on the Truth Social network he wrote that he “cannot believe”, and asked himself why ABC again engaged and why she wanted to broadcast “democratic waste.” Trump also accused Kimmel of being a “extended hand” of the Democratic National Committee. He announced that ABC could check. “The last time I sued them, they gave me $ 16 million,” Trump recalled in his post.
Trump hinted at the action for insult to the honor he had filed against ABC and her main moderator George Stepanopoulos for the inaccurate statements he expressed during an interview with Congressman Nancy Mace. The moderator then claimed that Trump was recognized in a civil dispute as “guilty of rape” writer E. Jean Carroll. As part of an out -of -court settlement of the action for insult to the honor of ABC Trump, in December 2024, it paid $ 15 million (€ 14.28 million).
Trump brought him viewers
From CBS TV, Trump judged $ 16 million for broadcasting two different parts of the then US Vice President Kamaly Harris to the situation in the Middle East – one in Face the Nation and the other in 60 minutes.
Kimmel said in the opening monologue of his renewed show that he had never intended to make Kirka’s murder easier. He assured that “he had no intention to blame a particular group of the actions of a person who was obviously deeply disturbed.” He said that his show is not important, but “that we can live in a country that allows us to have such a session.” On the Margo Trump he said he “did everything he could to cancel me. Instead, he forced millions of people to watch the show.”
AFP pointed out that Kimmel had commented on the whole case related to Kirk so far. On Tuesday, on the day of the renewed broadcast, he only published his photo with the late producer Norman Lear, who was a well -known proponent of freedom of speech on Instagram. Kimmel added the headline to the photo: “This guy is missing today”.
