Charlie Kirk spokesman Andrew Kolvet, who served as government producer of “The Charlie Kirk Present” and confirmed the information of his boss’ loss of life on Sept. 10, says Jimmy Kimmel’s feedback weren’t solely a fireable offense – they carried an “implicit message.”
Kolvet has remained because the spokesman for Turning Level USA, the group that Kirk based and ran earlier than his assassination. “Jimmy Kimmel Dwell!” was indefinitely suspended after his monologue final Monday night time.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend,” Kimmel mentioned, “with the MAGA gang desperately making an attempt to characterize this child who murdered Charlie Kirk as something aside from certainly one of them and doing all the pieces they will to attain political factors from it.”
“One thing vital that’s being missed with the Jimmy Kimmel saga,” Kolvet wrote on Saturday. “By spreading the vile lie that Charlie was assassinated by MAGA, the implicit message from Kimmel was clear: If you happen to kill a conservative, we are going to cowl for you. We are going to whitewash the homicide as a result of we don’t assume conservatives should stay. Kill extra. Assassinate extra. We’ve your again. That is evil.”
Kimmel’s present was taken off the air shortly after FCC chairman Brendan Carr made imprecise threats in opposition to ABC, inflicting outcry over what was perceived by many as state-sponsored censorship. Kolvet noticed it otherwise:
“Executives at ABC rightly acquired a deluge of complaints from associates,” he continued. “They requested Kimmel to apologize for mendacity and he refused, as an alternative vowing to double down. Solely then did he get canned. Networks like ABC, NBC, and CBS take pleasure in large taxpayer supported privileges and benefits as a result of they’re imagined to contribute to the ‘public good.’ These privileges include a duty to not knowingly unfold dangerous lies just like the one Kimmel was spreading. Jimmy Kimmel isn’t a sufferer. He’s a liar. Jimmy Kimmel isn’t a martyr. Charlie is. Let’s maintain that straight.”
