US president berates TV host over 'horrible' Kirk remarks
Donald Trump has claimed that Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show was suspended because he "is not a talented person" and had poor ratings. US broadcaster ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! from schedules after his comments about the fatal shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
The late-night comic made several remarks about the reaction to the assassination last week, including that “many in Maga land are working very hard to capitalise on the murder of Charlie Kirk”.
Mr Trump told a press conference at Chequers in Aylesbury yesterday: “Well, Jimmy Kimmel was fired because he had bad ratings, more than anything else. And he said a horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk.
“And Jimmy Kimmel is not a talented person. He had very bad ratings, and they should have fired him a long time ago. So, you know, you could call that free speech or not. He was fired for lack of talent.”
