ABC Network Cancels Jimmy Kimmel Over Charlie Kirk Remark

In an outrageous move, ABC announced on Wednesday that it was suspending the popular late-night TV talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! “indefinitely,” because of a remark that Kimmel made regarding the assassination of fascist agitator Charlie Kirk. According to Hollywood Reporter, the remark Kimmel made during his monologue Tuesday night was: “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.” The Hollywood Reporter noted that ABC’s action came after Brendan Carr, head of Trump’s Federal Communication Commission, threatened “to take action against ABC affiliates” after Kimmel’s remark. 

As we have said, the murder of Charlie Kirk was very wrong and should not be justified in any way. At the same time, Kirk’s assassination has been seized on by fascists to call for and move on a huge leap in repression—against everyone opposed to Trump/MAGA fascism. 

This reactionary ouster of yet another talk show host (after CBS’s cancellation of Stephen Colbert) who has spoken out against Trump and MAGA underscores the urgent importance of the call initiated by Refuse Fascism (and open to all): The time has come for… THE FALL of the TRUMP FASCIST REGIME. Beginning November 5, 2025. Washington DC. As the call begins:

Fascism is not a looming threat. It is upon us now.

Humanity’s only hope is for the decent people of this country to rise in our millions. We cannot wait for future and rigged elections. We must drive the Trump Fascist Regime from power.

Beginning November 5, the one-year anniversary of Trump’s election, flood DC in nonviolent protest. 

Jimmy Kimmel Stays! Trump Must Go!

We are at a turning point in history. The capitalist-imperialist system is a horror for billions of people here and around the world and threatening the very fabric of life on earth. Now the election of fascist Trump poses even more extreme dangers for humanity—and underscores the total illegitimacy of this system, and the urgent need for a radically different system.

The website Revcom.us follows the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian (BA), the author of the new communism. Bob Avakian has scientifically analyzed that we are in a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible in the U.S. He’s charted a strategy for making that revolution, and laid out a sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for “what comes next” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

Revcom.us projects BA’s voice, leadership, and vision throughout society. It posts his timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists) and the whole movement for revolution, including his social media posts, and curates his whole body of work. 

Our website applies the scientific approach BA has developed to analyze major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how they relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this, and what the goals of that revolution are.

Revcom.us acts as a guiding and connecting hub for the revcom movement nationwide: showing what’s being done, digging into what’s right and what’s wrong, and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force. As part of this, revcom.us feature and promotes the weekly The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube.com. 

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but rises to a whole different level!

DONATE NOW to revcom.us and get with BA and the revcoms!
