Did Kimmel lie? No. Absolutely not.
The comment was about MAGA influencers like Trump himself saying the following:
https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/maga-reacts-to-the-assassination-of-charlie-kirk
Simply put:
Trump is MAGA gang. This comment of his characterizes the shooter as anything other than MAGA. And he's doing it to score political points. (Instead of mending a clearly devided nation).
Here's what Kimmel said:
Show me the lie.
I'm certain I'll be asking you that till I'm blue in the face too.
I already pointed out the law. So nothing Kimmel did was illegal, therefore he deserved no punishment.
We're literally back to talking about someing I've already proven was false. Kimmel doing something illegal is false, and comes from the lies you can't admit Trump makes to your face.
Never said it was illegal cause it depend on a judgement that will never happen cause the network doesn't even want to take that chance. But what I said and what is true is it could be under the hoax legislation.
Kimmel saying he was maga was a lie. Your word soup about that won't change the fact he lied.
Show me where he says this. He doesn't. You are lying.
Your lack of reading comprehension to understand this is not an excuse. I literally walked you though his comment.
There is no hoax legislation. Otherwise link it. You are lying.
We have the first Amendment. You are ignoring.
Kimmel is being punished for upsetting Trump, not for doing anything illegal. He never said the shooter was MAGA. Yet you're okay with Trump violating the first Amendment of the Constitution because of that lie.
One of several lies you can't admit Trump makes, or that my links show.
Literally dude, you can't even think for yourself and it's embarrassing at this point.
Proof: Does Trump lie to your face?
Yes or No.
Fifth time I've asked.
You can't answer because that would be you thinking for yourself instead of Trump doing it for you.
By all means prove me right for a fifth time by being too scared to answer a yes or no question.
Here you go

You should mb get in contact with the gouvernement that vote this law
He still lied and your word soup doesnt change that fact. I dont even know why you search a parallel wich isnt one and isnt related to that case.
It's not a hoax if what he told is true. Kimmel did not lie.
He never said the shooter was MAGA.
He said MAGA people like you want the shooter to be anything other than MAGA. Which you do.
Here's the "Hoax" of his statement:
Let's simplify it with three changes to:
Which is true. Remember? You want them to be a leftist as you've often said?
That is not a Hoax. Just you spreading multiple lies.
And just like the head of our FBI, Patel, you're calling the shooter something they aren't too early:
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/no-evidence-charlie-kirk-shooting-left-wing-groups-rcna232513
Here's literal proof there's no evidence the shooter is a leftist according to three sources as linked above.
You are literally repeating lies before checking to see if they're true, and giving our government a pass to do the same. It's embarrassing. And damaging.
Because IF what Kimmel said IS NOT a Hoax, THEN IT IS a violation of our first Amendment rights.
Something you should be protecting. But can't, because you can't admit:
Trump lies to your face: yes or no?
Killer kill because of political disagreement. Isnt link with opposing political position..... Yeah that must be that specially when related to the shooter said he was deeply invested into the political opposition of the victim.
Like if a nazi killed a proheminent left figure and didn't talk about his plan and your reactions would be like yeah no link between his idea and action. Right
Trump lies to your face:
A) Yes B) No
You C) None of the above C) None of the above C) None of the above C) None of the above C) None of the above C) None of the above
One question. Answer it.
I have the freedom to do so, you do not. Because you are not free.
In America, we can say Trump lies. When that's no longer the case, we don't have America.
You censor yourself from the truth, because the truth is you've been conned into letting America die.
You are literally ignoring America for what a conman has convinced you America should be. All MAGA is about is making Trump and his friends richer, not America better.
