Kamala Harris puts support for Jimmy Kimmel and free speech, here's how Elon Musk replied
Former United States Vice President Kamala Harris expressed support for the comedian of the late night Jimmy Kimmel, who was canceled on ABC’s performance on ABC, to a monologue about Charlie Kirk and his alleged shooter Tyler Robinson. However, the Post took a turn after the billionaire and US President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Kamala Harris hit the issue with the help of her own post from 2019. Strikingly, Disney, the parent of ABC Entertainment Channel, drew the plug of Jimmy Kimmel’s show “indefinitely”, after setback of the Republic of the Republic of the Republic of the Republic, Supporters and Kirk’s fans. What did Kamala Harris say? In a post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), former VP Kamala Harris addressed the pressure of the Trump administration on broadcasters to remove Jimmy Kimmel because he expressed opposing opinions. “What we see is a direct abuse of power. This administration attacks critics and uses fear as a weapon to quiet each one who would speak. Media corporations – from television networks to newspapers – are capable of capitulating these threats,” she warned. ‘We can’t dare to be quiet or complacent in the face of this frontal assault on free speech. We, the people, deserve better, ‘she added. The position of Kamala Harris reflects the concerns raised by other politicians and various experts that the attempt to prohibit Jimmy Kimmel and former Stephen Colbert’s shows from TV for pronouncing anti-Maga centiments violates their first amendment rights. The US Constitution’s first amendment or the ‘Bill of Rights’, adopted in 1791, guarantees freedom of speech, including fundamental rights. This includes the prevention of the US Congress to make laws “respect a establishment of religion; prohibiting the free exercise of religion; or the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the freedom of assembly or the right to request the government to request the correction of grievances,”. How did Elon Musk respond? The world’s richest man and Donald Trump supporter himself did not write words, but with a thinking emoji, Kamala Harris’s 2019 post repositioned that Donald Trump’s Twitter account was suspended. She wrote: “Look, let’s be honest, Donald Trump’s Twitter account must be suspended.” It is considered Elon Musk’s silent question to the former American VP on the free speech and Jimmy Kimmel issue. Elon Musk stopped on Donald Trump’s recent announcement about H-1B visas, despite the fact that he had earlier expressed support for the system. He has long defended the H-1B visa as “an important tool to attract global talent” and adds that “H1B is strengthening”. In December 2024, he wrote: “The reason I am in America, along with so many critical people who have built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other businesses that strengthen America, is due to H1B.” Trump’s FCC behind Jimmy Kimmel’s performance gets the ax? On September 18, CNN reported that Disney Jimmy Kimmel’s program of ABC “indefinitely” hours after the Trump administration managed the Federal Communications Commission chief threatened to draw licenses from ABC’s local stations. FCC chairman Brendan Carr spoke to the right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson on September 17 and criticized Kimmel’s monologue as ‘the sickest behavior possible’, adding that the commission could take back ABC affiliate licenses as a way to print Disney, according to a CNN report, the FCC is a US regulator of public airwaves, including broadcast signals. Before the approach of the current chairman, however, it was mostly ‘hand-off’, the report states. “We can do it in the easy way or in the difficult way. These businesses can find ways to change behavior and do on kimmel, or there will be extra work for the FCC ahead,” Carr told Johnson. Later that day, in an interview with Fox News, Carr said the FCC will exert similar pressure on broadcasters in the future. “We at the FCC are going to force the public interest obligation. There are broadcasters out there who don’t like it, they can join their license to the FCC. But that’s our job. Once again we are making some progress now,” he said. ‘I can’t imagine another time when our local broadcasters told a national programmer like Disney that your content no longer meets the needs and the values of our community. So it’s an important turning point, “he added.
