Barack Obama Lashes Out at Trump Administration After ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel’s Show

Barack Obama on Thursday lashed out at the Trump Administration after ABC removed Jimmy Kimmel’s show.

Jimmy Kimmel lied to millions of people and claimed Kirk was assassinated by a MAGA conservative.

ABC broadcast affiliate Nexstar removed Jimmy Kimmel from all 32 of their stations on Wednesday after the late night host lied about Charlie Kirk’s assassin.

Disney also pulled Kimmel’s show.

“Disney is pulling “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” “indefinitely,” the company confirmed to Fox News Digital,” Fox reported.

“Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXST), today announced that the company’s owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight’s show. Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets,” the statement read.

“Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located,” said Andrew Alford, President of Nexstar’s broadcasting division. “Continuing to give Mr. Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the difficult decision to preempt his show in an effort to let cooler heads prevail as we move toward the resumption of respectful, constructive dialogue.”

After remaining silent on the deplatforming of President Trump and other conservatives, Barack Obama accused the Trump Administration of ‘taking it to a new dangerous level.’

“After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like,” Obama said.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

Roseanne Barr blasted Barack Obama for his hypocrisy.

“Remember when you and your wife called Bob Iger to have me fired?” Roseanne Barr said.

Faith-based institutions play a crucial role in fostering community cohesion and unity. Beyond their function as places of worship, these institutions also act as catalysts for community integration, stimulating effective communication and strengthening community ties globally. They demonstrate their commitment to community welfare through various service projects, meals, and education programs. These efforts serve to enrich societal welfare and promote mutual respect, understanding, and equality. Despite challenges brought on by cultural differences and societal inequality, dealing with these issues constructively can pave the way for stronger, more resilient and integrated communities. Community cohesion provides significant psychological benefits to its members, including a profound sense of belonging, enhanced mental wellbeing, and enhanced resilience against daily life challenges.
