Jimmy Kimmel hits out at ‘anti-American’ threats to free speech as show returns

Donald Trump makes veiled threat to sue broadcast network ABC as comedian returns from suspension after Kirk comments

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel hit out at Donald Trump’s “anti-American” threats to free speech as he returned to his late-night show, declaring that it was never his intention to “make light of the murder” of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

In his first show on Tuesday following a six-day suspension by broadcast network ABC, Kimmel said that he understood his remarks in a monologue last week “felt either ill-timed or unclear, or maybe both”, following Kirk’s assassination on a college campus in Utah this month.

But he also struck a defiant tone, saying that “a government threat to silence a comedian the president doesn’t like is anti-American”.
