ABC stations will air Charlie Kirk memorial tribute in place of Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday
ABC will air a special dedicated to Charlie Kirk on Friday evening.

Instead of airing Jimmy Kimmel on Friday after his show was suspended on Wednesday, ABC will air a special dedicated to Charlie Kirk on Friday evening. The suspension of Kimmel's show come after he made comments falsely suggesting that Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged with murdering Charlie Kirk, was "MAGA."


Kimmel has stated on his show earlier this week, "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.” The statement, along with many other left-wing outlets and pundits, suggested that the shooter was a Trump supporter when in reality, suspect Tyler Robinson was deeply involved with left-wing ideology and was romantically involved with his roommate, Lance Twiggs, a man who was also transitioning to identify as a woman.
 
On Wednesday, Sinclair, the largest ABC affiliate conglomerate, said in a statement, "As discussed with ABC earlier today, Sinclair decided to indefinitely preempt 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' beginning tonight. Following these discussions, ABC has suspended production of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'"

"Sinclair's ABC stations will air a special in remembrance of Charlie Kirk this Friday, during Jimmy Kimmel Live's timeslot. The special will also air across all Sinclair stations this weekend. In addition, Sinclair is offering the special to all ABC affiliates across the country," Sinclair added.

I bet they'll be collecting a higher rate for advertising revenue than they were getting for Kimmel.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
