- ajross 1y ago> absurdly hard to find in all the coverage. By design. If it was actually offensive Fox would be playing it non-stop. The offense has been excavated from inside an implication of a phrase in a nested clause in a sentence saying something unrelated. Kimmel said (as part of an argument that republicans were playing politics by pointing fingers) that republicans were trying to prove that Robinson was not a republican , from which you have to infer that Kimmel meant to say Robinson was a republican.
- UmGuys 1y agoWhat do the people claiming to be offended find offensive about it? I thought the issue was the orange one didn't like him and wanted him cancelled.
- ajross 1y agoWell, that is the "real" issue, sure. But the pretense was that Kimmel accused republicans of inspiring the killer.
- UmGuys 1y agoHow so? I thought I watched the monologue and didn't hear anything like that. Not even an implication.
- theshrike79 1y agoThey have been told by right-wing media that Jimmy Kimmel said something HORRIBLE about Charlie Kirk. Nobody checks what he actually said, they're just angry because they were told to be angry.
