“Did you know that many liberal states give taxpayer-funded grants to Antifa groups that register as nonprofits? In Oregon, taxpayers fund Antifa legal groups that provide free legal aid to violent Antifa members who are charged with felonies.”
“Conservatives have resurfaced this clip of Brian Stelter justifying censorship of conservatives after he melted down over Jimmy Kimmel being suspended.
“Reducing a liar’s reach is not the same as censoring freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is different than freedom of reach.”

I don’t think that Kimmel purposely lied about who was responsible for Kirk’s murder. There has been a lot of confusion and differing stories in the news and on social media, so it is probable that Kimmel did believe what he said at the time.
In a Facebook post shortly after Kirk’s death, I had read the same theory that Kimmel mentioned.
And I have no doubt Kimmel had intentions to spread a false narrative that fits with him and his leftist ilk. Why would he suddenly change course and speak truth? He wouldn’t. And didn’t he get citizenship somewhere else when president Trump was elected? Why is he still here anyway!??
Kimmel’s words verbatim….and I’m not thinking he was in a benevolent mood whilst spewing lies…
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel began. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”
He certainly could have been up to date on what authorities were saying about who did the assassination. One would think when you make your leaving commenting on current events that you would do so. Also, I am not sure why he would admit he was wrong and apologize. At any rate, his employer is certainly able to fire him.
I think Kimmel’s comments were in poor taste on several levels, one of which is simply that it’s head-scratching to think an assassin would have been one of “our” own and it can’t possibly be a “low” to suggest otherwise. And how is the “low” not the assassination or grieving for it but the reaction to it? Also, suggestions were that Kimmel was fired for “humor,” and I don’t see any possible world in which this was humor.
But really commentators who hold a political side should sometimes ask themselves how this would play in the other direction. Would it have been OK to make similar comments after George Floyd’s death, for instance, about how the left was distancing themselves from the “killer” and using the event politically? (As commentary that would actually have been very fair points to make: that Floyd was murdered was an invented story, and absolutely the event was used politically. But that’s a point for editorialists, not for late-night so-called comedians.)
This is how Dems use your tax dollars to fund and aid Antifa.

Kimmel lied. What changed, Stelter?”
