A couple who had traveled from Virginia to Los Angeles on vacation to attend Kimmel’s taping, called ABC’s decision “ridiculous.”

“What about freedom of speech? Why would his show be canceled for Jimmy Kimmel expressing his opinion?” Gina Blackwell told CNN.

“Wake up America. We’re getting stuck on stupid,” Michael Blackwell said.

1. It is truly outrageous. And for what? Everything Kimmel said was true!

2. Why can't Kimmel sue them now? Two years with these bastards might as well

be a lifetime.

3. I'd love to know how the unions are responding

The entertainment industry has some of the strongest unions out there. Electricians, gaffers, musicians, makeup artists, etc. You just can’t stop these peoples’ incomes without consequences.

4. Kimmel fans seem like some of the best

I know the employees were also family or like family to him.

5. This is crossing a line that shouldn't be crossed.

Kimmel's firing is a blatant attack on free speech, all because a couple of MAGA billionaire crybabies want more money for some stupid fucking merger and they're not kissing furor's ass enough. Fuck this administration to hell.
