Every major entertainment company operates under a code of conduct. Jimmy Kimmel knew that.
Yet when ABC executives confronted him about his rhetoric following Charlie Kirk’s death, he reportedly pledged to double down.
With his show already dragging in the ratings and losing money, it was an astonishingly reckless stance. Sponsors were prepared to walk. ABC had little choice but to pull the plug.
Now, suddenly, the left wants to talk and protest about free speech.
Was this Kimmel’s strategy all along? Did he angle for a bigger payday elsewhere by pushing the network into firing him? We don’t know. But the hypocrisy is hard to ignore.
When Bill Maher was fired by ABC, where was the left shouting about free speech. Roseanne Barr lost her own top rated show at ABC, for a satirical tweet, where were those liberal voices then?
Last Man Standing, Tim Allen’s top-rated sitcom, was cancelled, the same silence. Gina Carano, fired from The Mandalorian despite her popularity for texts that liberals screamed about.
Curt Schilling, six-time All-Star, three-time World Series champion, World Series MVP, fired from ESPN for his views on transgender issues. Phil Robertson, suspended from Duck Dynasty for calling homosexual behavior sinful.
Where was the outrage then?
Where were the protests when Fox cut ties with Tucker Carlson, whose program was number one in its time slot?
Where was the defense of conservative actors and commentators who lost work simply for supporting Republican candidates?
Meanwhile, Kimmel and Colbert were allowed to coast for years. Both shows hemorrhaged viewers and money, yet slid by under the radar.
Now that the axe has finally fallen, I see people who never tuned in standing on picket lines, crying foul.
If Kimmel and Colbert want a comeback, perhaps they can team up for a buddy film, no one will see.
Let’s face it: with President Donald Trump’s agenda moving forward and his approval holding steady, this is just another attempt by the left to spin a narrative and dethrone him. It isn’t working.
The fractured Democratic Party needs to regroup and find a message that truly resonates with the citizens of this great country, instead of wasting energy fighting every single policy the American people voted for.
