“Freedom of speech is in peril” after Jimmy Kimmel cancellation | The World | ABC NEWS
Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has been taken off the air indefinitely after the comedian made comments relating to the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. During a monologue on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ he suggested that suspected shooter Tyler Robinson may have been a pro-Trump Republican. The response from the American Broadcasting Company was swift with US President Donald Trump calling the cancellation “great news”. Conor Fitzpatrick, supervising senior attorney at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) tells The World “freedom of speech is in peril in the United States of America right now”. #ABCTheWorld #ABCAsiaPacific
