Consequences for media attempt to say assassin was 'conservative'

 Trending Politics:

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr sat down with conservative pundit Benny Johnson on his podcast, where he threatened action against late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, ABC, and Disney for misleading audiences by falsely claiming that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a MAGA conservative.

Kirk, a conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed during an on-campus event last Wednesday at Utah Valley University by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.

Carr blasted Kimmel’s comments about the shooter’s supposed political leanings as “truly sick,” arguing the host should be immediately suspended from ABC. He further suggested the remarks could even put the network’s broadcast license at risk.

During the interview, Carr said the FCC has a “strong case” to hold Disney, ABC, and Kimmel accountable for spreading politically motivated disinformation.

“This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead,” Carr told Johnson. “They have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest.”

“There are calls for Kimmel to be fired. I think you could certainly see a path forward for suspension over this,” he continued. “The FCC could make a strong argument that this is sort of an intentional effort to mislead the American people about a very core fundamental fact, a very important matter.”

ABC can make its own decision about whether Kimmel should be fired, but conservatives have a right to criticize his take on the murder of Charlie Kirk and whether they will continue to watch his show.

Jesse Watters: “Jasmine Crockett says, ‘Yeah, she calls people Hitler, but it doesn’t mean she’s responsible for any violence that happens.’” 

VP JD Vance: “What is it that you want people to do when you call them Nazis? What is that you want them to do when you call them fascist?… What do you expect people to do? This rhetoric is completely out of control.”

To call someone Hitler that you have a political difference with is an invitation to kill them.  Now Republicans have ever engaged in the mass murder of Jews and others the way Hitler did.
