AOC condemns cancelling Kimmel and the ‘weaponisation’ of Charlie Kirk’s murder

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has condemned the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel Live and the "weaponization" of Charlie Kirk’s murder. Addressing the House of Representatives on Friday, AOC said that Congress needs to “unite” in order to stop “an all-out assault on free speech across the country”. She said that Donald Trump is threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets for allowing criticism of his administration. “This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very First Amendment rights that define us as a country,” she said, also calling out ABC for their dismissal of Kimmel, saying it is their “responsibility to refuse to embolden and participate in this corruption and escalation of censorship.”
