Hacking group Anonymous has weighed in on the Jimmy Kimmel controversy after ABC suspended the late-night host indefinitely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kimmel was pulled from Jimmy Kimmel Live! after mocking Donald Trump\u2019s response to the death of Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist who was shot and killed at Utah Valley University on September 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During his monologue, Kimmel criticized Trump, saying his reaction was childish and disrespectful. ABC\u2019s decision to suspend him sparked outrage online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anonymous posted on X (formerly Twitter), defending Kimmel:
“So Kimmel is taken off the air for showing a clip of Trump not giving a s** about Charlie Kirk and calling it for what it is. Gotcha.”*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reactions were divided \u2014 some agreed with Anonymous, calling the suspension an attack on free speech, while others claimed Kimmel was punished for \u201cspreading lies\u201d about the shooter\u2019s political affiliations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, actor Ben Stiller also reacted to the news with a simple three-word post: \u201cThis isn\u2019t right.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
