Jimmy Kimmel Is on the FCC’s Radar for Comments About Charlie Kirk Murder

Jimmy Kimmel is within the crosshairs of legislation enforcement with federal investigators mulling whether or not to research the late-night comedy host for his feedback on the Charlie Kirk assassination.

Brendan Carr — the Federal Communications Commission Chairman — went on “The Benny Show” podcast Wednesday and mentioned the company was considering launching the probe into Kimmel over his assertion that Kirk’s alleged killer was a MAGA supporter.

As , Tyler Robinson fatally shot Kirk through the Turning Point USA founder’s occasion at Utah Valley University final Wednesday, in line with police. State prosecutors charged Robinson with aggravated murder and 6 different felonies and at the moment are in search of the demise penalty.

Carr instructed podcast host Benny Johnson that Kimmel’s conduct “appears to be some of the sickest conduct possible.” He mentioned the FCC sees sure avenues that may be taken to punish Kimmel — together with a doable suspension for his comment.

But, Carr says he must be cautious as a result of the FCC “could be called ultimately to be a judge on some of these claims [against Kimmel] that come up.”
