Trump: Kimmel Was Fired For Lack Of Talent, This Is Not A Free Speech Issue
President Donald Trump weighed in on ABC’s decision to indefinitely suspend “Jimmy Kimmel Live” at a press conference with UK PM Keir Starmer.
REPORTER: And on a separate issue, free speech, your Vice President, Vance, said that free speech is under attack in the UK. Do you agree with him? And Prime Minister, we saw the dismissal of a very well-known chat show host in America last night, Mr. Kimmel. Is free speech more under attack in Britain or America? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, Jimmy Kimmel was right, because he had bad ratings more than anything else, and he said a horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk. And Jimmy Kimmel is not a talented person. He had very bad ratings, and they should have fired him a long time ago. So, you know, you can call that free speech or not. He was fired for lack of talent. Yeah, please, go ahead.
