Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz slammed Donald Trump's powerful Federal Communications Commission chairman following Jimmy Kimmel's removal by ABC.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr earlier threatened ABC and Disney to 'change conduct and take action' against Kimmel following comments he made regarding Charlie Kirk's assassination.
Later that day, Nexstar and Sinclair, which air Kimmel's show on local affiliates across the country, announced it will no longer broadcast the comedian indefinitely.
Disney-owned ABC as well announced Kimmel's show would not air on the network. Kimmel's comedy career with ABC lasted more than 20 years through 23 seasons of his show.
Cruz, who has appeared on Kimmel's show in the past for friendly interviews and segments, called Carr's actions 'dangerous' as hell' and 'right out of Goodfellas.'
