Conservatives and right-wingers are the only acceptable target.
Why do you think Kimmel tried to characterize the killer as MAGA? Because he can't joke about him being gay, having a troon boyfriend, being antifa, not even about being a furry. Mocking right-wingers, even if they were victims of murder is considered safe comedy
Kimmel claims to have "fact checkers" on staff for all his writing, but there is ZERO support for him being MAGA in any way. There was a picture of him in a MAGA t-shirt... Ai generated ofc! That's it, nothing else existed.
Kimmel got suspended NOT because of the hate-filled lies he said about Kirk BUT because of the blatant disinformation about the killer. That's what he refused to retract.
