Jimmy Kimmel has criticized President Donald Trump for saying Democrats were responsible for the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
In a Sept. 11 episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" the TV show host condemned people who celebrated the killing of Kirk, who died at a Utah college speaking event on Sept. 10 in what Gov. Spencer Cox called a "political assassination."
Kimmel started his show by stating he has seen "extraordinarily vile responses from both sides of the political spectrum" and recounted the Sept. 10 shooting at a Colorado high school, where a male student shot and injured two of his peers before dying from self-inflicted injuries.
"With all these terrible things happening you would think that our president would at least make an attempt to bring us together but he didn't," he said during his opening monologue.
He then mentioned statements issued by former presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton regarding Kirk's death adding that they tried to bring Americans together after tragedy.
