Charlie Kirk has died Rest in Peace

[DavidGee24]

Kimmel's back.

Disney, the parent company of ABC, acknowledged the return of Jimmy Kimmel Live! in a statement, saying: “Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country. It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive.

“We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

It's going to be interesting how this all plays out. Sinclair and Nexstar stations are still pre-empting his show - so it won't be seen on a large portion of ABC stations across the county. ABC never said Kimmel was fired, only suspended, so his return should not be surprising. However, now it's going to get interesting - is Kimmel contrite and apologetic - as he should be? Or will it be hate hate hate as usual? Kimmel's ratings have been dropping for 10 straight years - will Disney keep him on air or pull the plug. They certainly crafted a well-thought out press release that tries to appease everyone. lol - so typical. I have no problem with him returning to work - he's just not someone I can watch - I have no interest in the left's never ending supply of hate. It's no way to go through life. It's funny how the left wackadoodles claim Kirk spewed hate speech - yet no one has shown a single example. Classic loony leftists - just making up shit and then getting irate when asked for proof.

If he apologizes it will obviously be fake so he shouldn't even bother...although a lot of dumb people would believe he's sincere so maybe he will. He should have his agent write one of those apologies that the Dominican baseball players who get busted for PEDs have their agents write. Those are funny because the players probably look at them and think "Man, I don't talk like that".

Personally, my favorite part is, “We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy...”.

I always wonder when I see quotes from dumb players like "I played good" or "I ain't never gonna let him score dunk on me" if the sportswriter changed it to proper English the player would complain about being misquoted. lol

Jimmy Kimmel is the real deal. I mean, c'mon, he cried! What an actor!

During his monologue in his first episode back to Jimmy Kimmel Live! following a 6-day suspension, the host addressed his previous remarks about Charlie Kirk. Towards the middle of the monologue, Kimmel tearfully spoke about Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, and her speech at his Sunday, Sept. 21, memorial service.

Kirk, a right-wing commentator who founded Turning Point USA, was fatally shot on Sept. 10 while at a speaking event at Utah Valley University. He was 31. Tyler Robinson was charged with aggravated murder in connection with Kirk's death.

During the memorial, Erika, who was recently elected the new CEO and chairman of Turning Point USA, spoke to the crowd and shared a message of forgiveness for Tyler Robinson.

Kimmel then delivered an emotional message, saying, "Erika Kirk forgave the man who shot her husband. She forgave him."

"That is an example we should follow. If you believe in the teachings of Jesus as I do, there it was," he continued. "That's it. A selfless act of grace, forgiveness from a grieving widow."

Kimmel added, "It touched me deeply. I hope it touches many, and if there's anything we should take from this tragedy to carry forward, I hope it can be that and not this."

Throughout his monologue, he also clarified that he wanted to "make something clear."

"It's important to me as a human. And that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man," he said through tears. "I don't think there's anything funny about it."

"I posted a message on Instagram of the day he was killed, sending love to his family and asking for compassion, and I meant it and I still do," he continued. "Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make."

He then acknowledged, "But I understand that to some that felt either ill-timed or unclear, or maybe both. And for those who think I did uh point a finger. I get why you're upset. If the situation was reversed, there's a good chance I'd have felt the same way."

Apparently it's not funny anymore... what an asshole. And the minions gleefully clap whilst sipping Kimmel's freshly brewed Kool-Aid.

Kimmel's writers understood the assignment - "appease everyone - especially those cutting our paychecks." Luckily they had four days to get that one right. If this was/is genuine from him - he nailed it. However, this is all scripted on a teleprompter so, I question the sincerity. I don't think he was shitting on Kirk, I think he was shitting on Trump and Republicans. According the the last election - that's the majority of the country - so he still has the problem of alienating most of the country with his hate rhetoric - still an extremely bad look for ANY business.

what's the narrative in the first place? Again, seems like you can make a case for an act of disruption.

The narrative is he was shot by a gay tranny lover acting alone from a rooftop. Many people don't believe that is what happened.

For example, many people seem to remember a certain country using exploding pagers to take out their enemies...

How can it be genuine, when he never once apologized? He did say he was sorry if WE FELT.....blah, blah, blah. That's like the rapist saying 'I'm sorry if you felt that it was wrong of me to rape you'
