Move follows Democrats’ criticism of the suspension of Kimmel’s TV show after his comments on the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk
After ABC suspended comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show following a threat from the head of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), congressional Democrats have denounced the Trump administration’s threats against political critics and unveiled a bill that would bolster free speech protections against government officials.
Kimmel said earlier this week that “many in Maga (Make America Great Again) land are working very hard to capitalise on” the assassination and that US President Donald Trump’s political supporters were trying to characterise the man charged in the attack “as anything other than one of them”.
Disney is seeking approval from the FCC for ESPN’s acquisition of the NFL Network.
