President Donald Trump threatened ABC for letting Jimmy Kimmel resume his show after the late-night comedian falsely claimed a right-winger assassinated Charlie Kirk.
Kimmel returned to the air Tuesday night after ABC suspended him last Wednesday.
The president threatened to sue ABC for Kimmel’s support of Democrats.
“He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution,” Trump said. “I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.”
On Tuesday night’s show, Kimmel did not apologize for his comments about Kirk but attempted to clarify what he meant.
“I do want to make something clear because it’s important to me as a human,” Kimmel said. “And that is, it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. I don’t think there’s anything funny about it. I posted a message on Instagram on the day he was killed, sending love to his family and asking for compassion, and I meant it, and I still do.”
Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said Kimmel’s apology was “not good enough.”
“Jimmy, it’s simple,” he said on X. “Here’s what you need to say: ‘I’m sorry for saying the shooter was MAGA. He was not. He was of the left. I apologize to the Kirk family for lying. Please accept my sincere apology. I will do better. I was wrong.’”
