Obama Torches MAGA After Jimmy Kimmel Pulled Off Air [View all]

Barack Obama is calling out what he sees as “dangerous” hypocrisy from the White House.

In a post on X, the 44th president slammed ABC’s decision to “indefinitely” cut Jimmy Kimmel Live! amid threats.

Kimmel was suspended after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr threatened to withdraw ABC’s broadcasting license during an interview.

“After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like,” Obama wrote.
