Contrary to what Chris Hayes just said on MSNBC, Kimmel did NOT say Kirk's shooter was part of MAGA.
During his Sept. 16 episode, Kimmel said the following:
"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

That's it. That is why he was taken off the air. Can someone explain to me how what Kimmel said is "incorrect"?
Trump and MAGAts were saying the killer was part of the "far left" before they even knew who he was!
