Jimmy Kimmel may face a federal review after claiming on his show that Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer was a MAGA supporter. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr revealed on conservative podcaster Benny Johnson’s program that he is considering an investigation into Kimmel and ABC regarding these remarks.
The comments referred to 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who prosecutors say fatally shot Kirk during a university event in Orem, Utah. Authorities have clarified that Robinson held leftist political views, not ties to the MAGA movement. Carr described Kimmel’s statements as “some of the sickest conduct possible” and indicated that the FCC has several avenues to respond, including potential suspension of the host.
