Was it a lie yes or no ?
no, it was not a lie.
kimmel didn't even say, just implied that right wingers said it was a democrat, he just said it "wasn't one of them", which is a very cautious way of saying that, but even that was too much for some
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,
Nice try taking part of sentence out of context. His formulation let no place to doubt.
again, did they not do that?

Ok bro then go see Kimmel to say to him that your going to represent him in front of the court of law for unjustified termination regarding his freedom of speech
that's very kind of you to say, but fortunately i don't live in the usa, and i do not wish to visit at the moment
Fair enough. Still not an attack on freedom of speech
