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
Yup. ABC hopes the whole thing has blown over & they'll get away with it. And they will, sadly.
It was Kimmel's claim that the shooter was MAGA that drew the backlash from the affiliates & advertisers. Trump could sue them easily! But Kimmel refused to take it back. The hate-filled lies about Kirk were fine though 😲 no need to apologize for them.
