#Firstpost LIVE: Trump Celebrates Jimmy Kimmel’s Suspension Amid Charlie Kirk Remarks | US Free Speech | N18G

Kimmel’s suspension came after owners of local TV stations had said they would stop broadcasting his celebrity-filled late-night show, and the nation’s top communications regulator threatened to investigate Kimmel’s commentary about Kirk.

Kimmel, a comedian who frequently lampoons Trump, said during his nine-minute opening monologue on Monday that allies of Kirk were using his assassination last week to “score political points”. Kirk, 31, was shot onstage at a university in Utah on September 10, where he was holding one of his frequent public debates with students over his political views in an event organized by his advocacy group, Turning Point USA.

Trump, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned to the U.S., complained that he had read somewhere that television networks “were 97% against me” and only gave him bad publicity.

“I would think maybe their license should be taken away,” Trump said, although federal law prohibits the FCC from revoking a broadcaster’s license for negative coverage or other speech disliked by the government. “It will be up to Brendan Carr.”
