Bill Maher Angrily Lashes Disney Chiefs for 'Caving' on Kimmel

[SunSeeker]

3. It is Bill Maher who caved, defaming Kimmel and having Homan on his show without fact checking him.

On his show last night, Bill Maher asserted that his "friend" Jimmy Kimmel incorrectly said Kirk's shooter was MAGA, and that is what got him canned. But that is absolutely not what Kimmel said. Kimmel said:

"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"? He did NOT say the shooter was MAGA, he said MAGA was trying to say the shooter was not MAGA. That is very different. And it is the truth.

Trump and MAGAts were saying the killer was part of the "far left" before they even knew who he was! They were obsessed with trying to establish that the shooter wasn't MAGA, and using the shooting to score political points. That is a fact. And that is what Kimmel said.

And yet Bill Maher is reinforcing the right wing narrative that his friend Jimmy Kimmel said the shooter was MAGA. Some friend Bill Maher is to Jimmy!


And then on top of that, Maher didn't push back on the lies spewing from his featured guest, White House Border Czar Tom Homan. Homan actually said that 70% of the people ICE detained have a criminal record. That is a brazen lie. It's just the opposite! 70.8% DO NOT HAVE A CRIMINAL RECORD. https://tracreports.org/immigration/quickfacts/#:~:text=58%2C766,ICE%20detainees%20in%20FY%202025
But Bill Maher didn't correct him. At all.
