From Fox News: ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel insinuated Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin was a member of the “MAGA gang” while mocking President Donald Trump’s response to his death during his show Monday night.

The “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host brought up the matter during his monologue and claimed right-wing critics were hitting “new lows” trying to frame the suspect, 22-year-old Utah native Tyler Robinson, as someone who wasn’t “MAGA.”

“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,” Kimmel said.

He went on to mock Trump’s responses, criticizing the White House for flying U.S. flags at half-staff and Trump for discussing ballroom construction when asked his thoughts days later.


Stooping to yet a new low, Kimmel claimed, “This is not how an adult grieves the murder of somebody he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish, OK?”

Kimmell is getting blasted for his crass remarks.

Free Beacon editor Peter Hasson wrote, “I cannot believe I missed this. Jimmy Kimmel was pushing the false flag conspiracy theory as fact. Unreal.”

Journalist Jim Stinson wrote, “Hey @ABCNetwork @Disney… Get this clown Kimmel off the air.”

Investor and entrepreneur Jeffrey Emanuel wrote, “This is like 100x worse than I would have ever expected. Just telling obvious lies. I wouldn’t even expect this from AOC or Bernie, the basic denial of the truth that the shooter was a leftist. Seeing it from a comedian and talk show host on prime time is actually shocking to me.”

“Genuinely astonishing that he’s permitted to lie through his teeth like this. Vile,” declared Nic Carter.
