ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel off air after Charlie Kirk comments

ABC has pulled popular late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, off the air indefinitely after comments made about Charlie Kirk.

Sources say the move came after, Nexstar Media Group, announced its 32 stations affiliated with ABC will yank the show starting Wednesday evening.

“Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse,” says President Andrew Alford. “We do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views or values of the local communities in which we are located.”

During his monologue Monday, Kimmel suggested Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, may have been a pro-Trump republican.
