This what Kimmel said. Few people appear to have actually heard what he
said, but who cares about accuracy any more?

Trump looked like a fool, Kimmel called it out, and his administration
is continuing to push a dangerous narrative that "liberal violence and
hate" is the enemy. Trump ordered the FCC to intimidate ABC, ABC
probably wanted to get rid of their late night show anyways, and saw a
patsy.

Disney, ABC's owner, is also looking for FCC approval for a merger,
valued at $6.2 billion. We've seen this administration use the FCC and
the courts to shake down the media, I'm sure this issue will see a
payment from Disney to somewhere and this'll all go away.

Except, this time, Disney wasn't counting on a mass exodus of
subscribers and Jimmy Kimmel has 3 more years on his contract. Rumor has
it he's already talking to attorneys.

Nothing in Kimmel's words seems disrespectful to me, and certainly
qualifies as tame compared to the responses to Paul Pelosi's attack and
the non-response from the GOP on the Hortman assasination.

This is what Kimmel said.

"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."

"In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving. On Friday, the White
House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a
human level, you can see how hard the president is taking this."

He then showed a clip of a reporter asking Trump how he was holding up
in the wake of Kirk's death.

"I think very good," Trump replied. "And by the way, right there where
you see all the trucks, they just started construction of the new
ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to
get, as you know, for about 150 years, and it's gonna be a beauty."

"Yes, he's at the fourth stage of grief: construction," Kimmel said.
"Demolition, construction. This is not how an adult grieves the murder
of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a
goldfish."
