SHOWDOWN: Sinclair Broadcast Group Announces They Won’t Broadcast Jimmy Kimmel’s Show After ABC Caves
Sinclair Broadcast Group on Monday evening announced they won’t broadcast Jimmy Kimmel Live! across its ABC affiliate stations after ABC caved.
Earlier Monday, ABC announced Jimmy Kimmel would be returning to the airwaves just six days after suspending him for lying about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University earlier this month.
Jimmy Kimmel lied to millions of people and claimed Kirk was assassinated by a MAGA conservative.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang 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,” Kimmel told his audience.
This is, of course, a lie. Charlie Kirk was gunned down by a far-left, pro-transgender radical who hated him for his conservative political views.
The assassin, Tyler Robinson, lived with his transgender lover and said that if he had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, he would.
“I’ve had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out,” Robinson told his transgender lover about Kirk.
The Sinclair Group pushed back on ABC and announced Jimmy Kimmel’s show will be pulled from their ABC affiliates ‘indefinitely.’
“Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return,” Sinclair said on Monday evening.
