Democratic lawmakers and Hollywood writers and actors condemned what they called an attack on free speech led by US President Donald Trump after talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air for comments about the murdered right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

Suspension of TV host Kimmel condemned

ABC, the broadcaster owned by Walt Disney, said on Wednesday it was yanking "Jimmy Kimmel Live" indefinitely. At least one local TV station affiliate had said it would replace the show on its airwaves, and the nation's top communications regulator threatened to investigate Kimmel's commentary about Kirk, a prominent Trump ally.

The late-night host, a frequent Trump critic, said on his show on Monday that Kirk's allies were using his assassination to "score political points." Kirk, 31, was shot onstage as he debated students at a university in Utah on Sept.IO.
