    I guess everybody knows this anyhow, but please make sure to remember:

    If you just watched the above, however, and are now wondering why, as Kimmel’s jabs weren’t aimed at Kirk, but Trump, then you’ve hit on precisely why the backlash against Disney’s Jimmy Kimmel decision is growing – and why it’s not likely to stop any time soon.



    Further:

    Reportedly, Disney wants Kimmel to tone down his rhetoric, as well as provide an apology to Charlie Kirk’s family and donate to his right-wing organization, Turning Point USA, suggestions that have only served to increase the backlash.

    (…)

    The feeling is that CEO Bob Iger and Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman Dana Walden caved too easily to MAGA pressure and manufactured outrage once again.
