    the offensive comments:

    We had some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it,

        The left also scrambled to say, “Not my guy!”

        Hell, I’ve seen people downvoted around here for mentioning the shooter had a trans lover/roommate. No idea if that’s true, seems a little too pat, but I’ve read the alleged text messages.

        Nothing there screams fake to me, and this administration sucks at impersonating liberals, let alone Trump himself. They’re hilariously obvious when they try.

        In any case, a Hitler Youth recruiter got blown out the neck from a 30.06 cannon shell. Fine by me, whoever did it, for whatever reason they did it. Just glad he didn’t use an AR-15! :)

              I’ve known plenty of people who talk exactly like that.

              And if you’re planning a murder, using “tactical” terms seems pretty normal to me.

      I was so certain that he was being cancelled over something else that he said, but no!

      I watched the whole video here and that was it! In addition to some regular dunking on Trump about how he was in the 4th stage of Denial, Construction.

      This is absolute insanity.

    Mocking Donald Trump as well, Kimmel said on his show Monday: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

    That is so tame. And accurate.

    Extra crazy because he didn’t even speak poorly of Charlie or say any distasteful comments. He didn’t even really make a statement about the situation at all. He just said MAGA is trying to categorize the shooter as not them and played some clips of Trump being 100000x more interested in the new Whitehouse ballroom than the public assassination of his dear friend.

    You can’t cancel someone over comments they didn’t make. This is pandering, plain as day. Same reason Colbert got canceled.

      Colbert cancellation was more clever. There are numbers that they could point to (though others that paint him well). They gave him a few months to finish things out. It was temporally too close to the merger talks but besides that the façade could’ve been worse.

      This time it’s a nakedly anti-1A FCC. :(
