Jimmy Kimmel slams Trump again after FCC opens review of ABC TV licenses
New York Post • • nation
Key Points:
- Jimmy Kimmel intensified his criticism of President Trump after Trump called for Kimmel's firing and the FCC initiated an investigation into ABC’s TV licenses, owned by Disney.
- Kimmel highlighted Trump's own joke about his age during his late-night monologue, contrasting it with Trump demanding Kimmel's firing over a joke about the president’s age.
- The FCC’s probe into ABC’s licenses, linked to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, is said to be coincidental but rare, with ABC required to file renewals by May 28.
- Melania Trump condemned Kimmel’s joke about her as “hateful and violent rhetoric,” following a shooting attempt on Trump by a suspect charged with attempted assassination.
- Disney defended its qualifications as licensees and emphasized its commitment to serving local communities, while Kimmel pushed back against accusations that his joke incited violence.
