Trump rejoices the comedian Jimmy Kimmels suspension for the air Charlie Kirk remarks
* ABC Pulls ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ amid regulatory threats * Trump says Kimmel has no talent, poor ratings * Author, actor’s unions say suspension attacks free speech rights (add comments by PEN America, US Senator Chuck Schumer in paragraph 26) by Dawn Chmelewski and Jonathan Allen) President Donald celebrated the suspension of the suspension. Jimmy Kimmel of the airwaves, who violated a debate on whether Trump and Republicans violated free speech because they tried to punish some critics of murdered right -wing activist Charlie Kirk. Trump spoke to Britain during a state visit on Thursday, saying Kimmel was punished for saying “a horrible thing” about Kirk, a close political ally of the president who is credited with the build -up of Trump among young conservative voters. ABC broadcaster announced on Wednesday that it is ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ indefinite. Kimmel’s suspension was condemned as capitulation of unconstitutional government pressure by writers, artists, former US President Barack Obama and other prominent Democrats. Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has used office and the courts to attack unflattering speech on him which he considers to be defamatory or false. Kimmel’s suspension came after two major owners of local TV stations said they would stop broadcasting his fame-filled late-night performance, and the country’s top communication regulator threatened to investigate Kimmel’s comments on Kirk. Kimmel, a comedian who regularly lamps Trump, said during his nine-minute opening monologist on Monday that Kirk allies used his assassination last week to ‘score political points’. Kirk, 31, was shot on stage at a university in Utah on September 10, where he held one of his regular public debates with students about his political views in a case organized by his advocacy group, Turning Point USA. “We hit some new lows over the weekend, while the Maga gang desperately tried to characterize this child who killed Charlie Kirk as something other than one of them, and doing everything in their power to achieve political points,” Kimmel said using an abbreviation of Trump’s slogan: raises America again. Kimmel, who Band his show in Los Angeles, also mocked Trump’s reactions to Kirk’s death: “That’s not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. That’s how a four -year -old mourns a goldfish.” Trump, who hosted the TV series ‘The Apprentice’ before becoming president, said Kimmel was not talented, had bad ratings, and “said a horrible thing about a great Lord known as Charlie Kirk.” “So you know, you can call that free speech or not,” Trump said, next to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. “He was fired because of a lack of talent.” ABC did not say it fired Kimmel, which did not respond to a request for comment. In the week since the Kirk murder, Kimmel is the most famous American who faces a professional setback for comments condemned by conservatives as respectful to Kirk, along with media figures, academic workers, teachers and corporate employees. A 22-year-old technical university student and video game enthusiast of Utah were charged with Kirk’s murder on Tuesday. Prominent Democrats said Trump and his Republican Party guaranteed an assault on free speech rights in the first amendment to the US Constitution. Republicans said they were fighting “hate speech” that could come to violence and accuse some Kirk critics of trying to justify his murder. Obama, who was succeeded by Trump in 2017, said media companies should not capitulate the coercion or censorship of the government. “After years of complaining about cancellation culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by regularly threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they look out or burn the reporters and commentators,” Obama said in a statement. The unions of writers and actors said the move amounts to an unconstitutional attack on the right not to agree. “The silence of the US is impoverishing the whole world,” the Writers Guild of America said in a statement. PEN America condemns those who call it “an act of censor-based censorship against satire and comedy”, in a statement by Summer Lopez, who manages the free expression programs of the Advocacy Group. Free speech, the death of public interest, Kirk, urged an outpouring of sadness among fans and some critics, who regarded him as a strong advocate of public debate and conservative values. Others have challenged or mocked Kirk’s support for right -wing politics and Christian nationalism and derogatory remarks that he made about immigrants, black people, leftists and transgender people. Long before Kirk’s murder, Trump repeatedly threatened to pull out licenses from television stations, and put the broadcasters under pressure to stop airing the content, and he could insult and try to control what universities, which he believes, can be overwhelmed by Marxists. He also trained his ire on print media and filed a $ 15 billion case against the New York Times. Hours before Kimmel’s suspension, Brendan Carr, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, requested local broadcasters to stop airing the show. ABC, owned by Walt Disney, pulled the show after Nexstar, who owns 32 of ABC’s local TV subsidiaries, said it would stop airing the program to Kimmel’s monologue. Sinclair Broadcast Group, another major owner of local TV stations, said it was the broadcasts of the program until Kimmel apologized to the Kirk family. Disney shares traded almost 1% after the market opened on Thursday, indicating that investors do not think that the suspension would damage the financial prospects of the company. “This is a very important moment, because local broadcasters are now pushing back to national programmers for the first time that I can think of in modern history,” Carr, the chairman of the FCC, said in an interview with CNBC. He said the FCC would defend the principle that licensed broadcasters should act in the ‘public interest’. Senate’s US Democratic leader Chuck Schumer demanded that Trump Fire Carr and him call “one of the biggest threats to free speech America has ever seen. Trump spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One when he returned to the US, and complained that he read somewhere that television networks were “97% against me” and just gave him bad publicity. “I would think that their license might be taken away,” Trump said. “It’s up to Brendan Carr.” (Reporting by Dawn Chmielewski in Los Angeles and Jonathan Allen in New York; Additional Reporting by Steve Holland in Checkers, England, Dave Shepardsson and Trevor Hunnicutt in Washington and Lisa Richwine in Los Angeles; Write by David Gaffen and Jonathan Allen of Lincoln Feast and Jonathan Allen; Alistair Bell)
