I read a bit about it and he didn't seem to say anything overly insensitive... maybe something to be disagreed with by some.

But between him and Colbert, it now seems kinda obvious that certain people are trying to get rid of comedians who don't say everything a certain individual wants to hear to fit his own ideas, and that's how we know it has gotten bad!

I think it's time for network tv to die anyway.  People like Jimmy Kimmel don't need a network to have a platform.

What did he say exactly?

 

Im not shocked tho if it was nothing overly crazy tho. Nowadays Celebs with Cancel culture are literally always walking on eggshells and literally just 1 or 2 badly spoken sentences away from having their careers ruined. Very extra imo, all human beings have said stupid things

 

Generalizing tho and saying i wouldnt be shocked. Dunno what he said and if my take applies in this case or not

The CNN article said: 

During his Monday evening monologue, Kimmel suggested Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, might have been a pro-Trump Republican. “The MAGA Gang (is) 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,” Kimmel said. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”

 

It really doesn't seem to be anything as insensitive or awful as some people are making it out to be, but to each their own

FYI, Kimmel is on ABC. ABC is owned by Disney. Disney owns Hulu. Network TV and streaming are all intertwined by the same parent companies and/or investors. Netflix, as far as I'm aware, is the only streaming service that's independently owned.

This is beyond ridiculous. 

We need to come together and boycott Disney.

He actually did get people killed too, which is worse.
