Jimmy Kimmel returned to late-night television on Tuesday. The talk show host was preempted and paused after comments on Charlie Kirk’s death, and in his return, he took the time to address it. As he began speaking about Charlie and his widow, Erika, he became emotional.
After the death of Charlie Kirk, Jimmy Kimmel was among those to speak out. While he called it a tragedy, he also said some words that made many, including President Donald Trump, furious.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
He also criticized that flags were being lowered to half-mast in honor of Kirk. Moreover, Kimmel also mocked President Donald Trump’s reaction to the shooting.
“This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he calls a friend. This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish,” the talk show host added.
