Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has spoken out to clarify his recent remarks, stating that he had no intention of making light of the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk. These comments came during his first monologue following the reinstatement of his show after a suspension by broadcaster ABC. Kimmel used the platform not only to address the controversy surrounding his words but also to voice his strong disapproval of what he described as “un-American” threats against freedom of speech, particularly those attributed to US President Donald Trump.
