Which has nothing to do with Charlie Kirk.

 I looked up that Guardian quote you mention. You might have missed that
 Kimmel referred to Trump as a dick happened on a different show, during
 Trump's England visit, not the show where he made fun of Trump's
 response to Kirk's killing.

 If you're offended by Kimmel, you get to be. You can choose not to
 watch him. The problem is when people get offended and choose to use
 the government to silence them.

 I suppose the republicans are woke and supporting cancel culture now
 that it fits their goals.

 DW> I agree they are probably looking to get rid of their late night show.
