Kimmel Addresses Critics Over Remarks on Kirk's Assassination

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel stated that his comments on the reaction to the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk were

intentionally and maliciously mischaracterized
by critics before his show was suspended.

Kimmel had drawn outrage from conservatives for his remarks on his September 17 show, where he said that President Donald Trump's supporters were desperate to characterize Kirk's accused assassin

as anything other than one of them
and for trying to
score political points
from his murder.

At the Bloomberg Screentime conference in Los Angeles, Kimmel reiterated his belief that critics had misrepresented his words.
