The Trump administration wasted no time this week using the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk for political gain, as the president and his cohort launched a broad campaign to shame and silence opponents whose reactions to the killing were deemed unsavory.

 

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel was suspended Wednesday by ABC after his Kirk monologue drew the ire of Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr. A Washington Post columnist was fired over social media posts about the killing that garnered direct criticism from Vice President JD Vance. On a posthumous episode of “The Charlie Kirk Show” on Monday, Vance directed his followers to identify people who celebrated Kirk’s death, and “hell, call their employers.”

 

Kimmel’s suspension has been roundly criticized as a government-sponsored assault on free speech. But Trump — who has sparred publicly with Kimmel for years — is taking a victory lap.

 

“Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED,” Trump wrote on social media. “Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done.”

 

Meanwhile, Trump got the royal treatment this week as King Charles III hosted the president and hundreds of other guests at Windsor Castle for a lavish multiday affair aimed at smoothing over trade and security relations between the U.S. and U.K.

Obama Calls Kimmel Suspension ‘Dangerous,’ Points Out Cancel Culture Hypocrisy From The Right

Former President Barack Obama said Thursday that ABC’s decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air for his comments on Charlie Kirk’s murder represents a “new and dangerous level” for the Trump administration.

 

“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 posted on X, along with a link to a Vox article laying out how the Trump administration is using regulatory power to silence critics.
