Obama accuses the Trump administration of ‘government coercion’ after ABC boots Jimmy Kimmel

The 64 -year -old head of state said that Kimmil’s comment on his comments about the dead political commentator Charlie Kirk was a “government coercion”, accused of the Trump administration of playing quickly and disintegrating with the first amendment, which protects the right to freedom of expression in America.

“After years of complaint about the cancellation of culture, the current administration moved to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening organizational procedures against media companies unless correspondents or correspondents of the shooting and commentators do not like it,” Obama wrote in a post on X.

Obama’s reference to organizational procedures may indicate comments made by the head of the Federal Communications Committee, Brendan Car, who said earlier this week that his agency, which issues broadcast licenses on general air waves, will consider “treatments” to address Kimmel’s comments if companies do not take a measure.

“These companies can find ways to change behavior and take measures, frankly, on Kimmel, or there will be additional work for the Federal Communications Committee,” Carr said on Wednesday in one of the beginnings of the right -wing media Benny Johnson.

Dozens of channels from the local ABC stations that belong to the owner of the station will broadcast the Kirk Honoring in the period of time it previously occupied before Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Senkler called for the host late at night to apologize and donate to the right -wing organization Kirk, Turning Point Usa.
