On Tuesday night, Kimmel tried to position himself as some kind of free-speech martyr, weeping on camera about his so-called “ill-timed” comments on the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But if you watched closely, those weren’t the tears of a man mourning a 31-year-old conservative leader gunned down for his beliefs. No — those were the tears of a man realizing his own career just went up in smoke.
Because here’s the thing: no amount of crocodile tears can wash away what Kimmel actually did.
Just days earlier, the late-night host smeared conservatives and pointed his finger straight at the “MAGA gang,” implying Kirk’s killer was somehow one of them. This, despite the fact that authorities were crystal clear: the 22-year-old suspect who murdered Kirk was radicalized by leftist ideology and thought Kirk’s worldview was “hateful.” That’s not speculation. That’s straight from the police. But Kimmel still went out of his way to make it about Republicans. About Trump supporters. About you.
And now? Now he’s “sorry if it was ill-timed.” Sorry if you misunderstood. Sorry that Disney benched him and stations like Sinclair and Nexstar — together controlling nearly 80 ABC affiliates — decided they weren’t airing his show. That’s not contrition. That’s damage control.
Jimmy Kimmel’s exact words…
7 Days Ago: ‘the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than ONE OF THEM.’
Today: ‘I don’t think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents ANYONE.’
Sick Liar.

Andrew Kolvet, who works with Turning Point USA and produces The Charlie Kirk Show, called it exactly right: Kimmel’s not emotional for Charlie Kirk. He’s emotional for himself. Because he almost torched his entire career.
And Kolvet didn’t stop there. He called Kimmel “an unrepentant liar” who still refuses to admit what he did. Instead of facing the fact that a man on the left assassinated someone on the right — a man who championed open debate and free speech on campus — Kimmel kept trying to spin the narrative. Pretend it’s still conservatives who are the violent ones. Pretend it’s still the “MAGA gang” to blame.
Jack Posobiec, a close friend of Kirk’s, nailed it too: Kimmel still won’t tell the truth about the suspect. And that silence? That’s the tell. He’s running cover.

Let’s cut through the scripted monologue fluff. This wasn’t a slip of the tongue. It wasn’t a bad joke that landed wrong. It was deliberate. It was Kimmel doing what the left always does: slandering conservatives, gaslighting an audience, and then crying on cue when the backlash gets too hot.
They put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air last night — and his response to his disgusting lie was PATHETIC.

And let’s not ignore the irony here. Kimmel blames “government censorship” for his suspension, claiming Trump can’t take a joke. But in the same breath, he admits it was Disney that pulled the plug — his own bosses, not the White House. So which is it, Jimmy? Is Trump hiding under your desk, or did Mickey Mouse just tell you to take a seat?
What makes this so disgusting isn’t just the lies, though. It’s the timing. A conservative leader was assassinated. Communities prayed. Families mourned. And instead of respect, Kimmel cracked jokes, hurled blame, and tried to score cheap political points. Then, when it blew up in his face, he acted like he was the victim.
But make no mistake: this isn’t about Jimmy Kimmel’s job. It’s about whether America is going to let the media keep rewriting reality every time the facts don’t fit their narrative. Charlie Kirk was murdered by someone radicalized on the left. That’s the truth. And no amount of on-air waterworks is going to wash that away.
