Jimmy Kimmel returned Tuesday to his late show on ABC after a nearly week-long suspension.
The host delivered an emotional monologue defending free speech, but did not issue an apology.
Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group, owners of ABC affiliates, continue to keep “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off their stations.
It was nice, but I can’t say I could agree with his praising Kirk’s wife for forgiving the killer. I can’t believe anything that say because everything is performative and I can’t help but to think, “would she have said the same if the killer wasn’t a white guy?”
Race has nothing to do with it at all…
Until you actually give it any thought. Kirk’s last words were about gang violence, if a black person had shot him, there would have absolutely been a different narrative.
Do you understand what point he was making about gang violence and how that related to the discussion on mass shootings? In any event it wasn’t a black person.
