After ABC removed &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live&#8221; from its broadcast schedule indefinitely, many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cuomo-signed-law-lowering-the-bar-for-sexual-harassment\/\" title=\"Cuomo Signed Law Lowering the Bar for Sexual Harassment\u00a0\">left-leaning figures<\/a>, including media personalities and Democrats, expressed outrage over the decision, framing it as censorship and an unjust punishment of Kimmel. CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper suggested that financial and political motives, including pressure from the FCC and the trump administration, played a role in the suspension. Comedian Patton Oswalt also reacted strongly, urging collective resistance. The author criticizes these reactions as hypocritical, pointing out that the same leftists have shown less concern and less vocal defense over Kirk&#8217;s assassination, which they argue highlights a disregard for free speech and conservative voices when it truly matters.The article contends that the left prioritizes maintaining power over addressing political violence or truth, and will support figures like Kimmel to protect their interests despite their misleading narratives.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=89ONM7xEp_8\">Jimmy Kimmel Live\/YouTube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/18\/leftists-are-angrier-about-jimmy-kimmels-suspension-than-charlie-kirks-assassination\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Leftists%20Are%20Angrier%20About%20Jimmy%20Kimmel%E2%80%99s%20Suspension%20Than%20Charlie%20Kirk%E2%80%99s%20Assassination&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/18\/leftists-are-angrier-about-jimmy-kimmels-suspension-than-charlie-kirks-assassination\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Leftists%20Are%20Angrier%20About%20Jimmy%20Kimmel%E2%80%99s%20Suspension%20Than%20Charlie%20Kirk%E2%80%99s%20Assassination&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/18\/leftists-are-angrier-about-jimmy-kimmels-suspension-than-charlie-kirks-assassination\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/18\/leftists-are-angrier-about-jimmy-kimmels-suspension-than-charlie-kirks-assassination\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Leftists%20Are%20Angrier%20About%20Jimmy%20Kimmel%E2%80%99s%20Suspension%20Than%20Charlie%20Kirk%E2%80%99s%20Assassination&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/18\/leftists-are-angrier-about-jimmy-kimmels-suspension-than-charlie-kirks-assassination\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print();

By all accounts, these Democrats are far more outraged by the fact that one of their party mouthpieces will be booted off the air indefinitely than they are about a man being permanently taken away from his family, allegedly at the hands of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/charlie-kirks-assassin-lived-transgender-partner-who-now-cooperating-fbi-sources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pro-trans<\/a> lunatic.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, such repugnant behavior is unsurprising. This is who these leftist ghouls truly are. <\/p>\n<p>They don&rsquo;t care about how their party&rsquo;s radicalization of unstable individuals has unleashed a wave of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/knowles-adam-kinzinger-is-a-namby-pamby-clown\/\" title=\"KNOWLES: Adam Kinzinger Is A Namby-Pamby Clown\">leftist political violence<\/a> that threatens the lives of conservatives and other Americans. And they certainly don&rsquo;t care about fellow hacks like Kimmel brazenly lying about Kirk&rsquo;s assassination to cover up such uncomfortable truths. <\/p>\n<p>The No. 1 objective for the establishment left is maintaining power. If further debasing themselves by shilling for Kimmel is what it takes to get their fellow propagandist back on the air to make that happen, then they will absolutely do it. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Shawn Fleetwood is a staff writer for The Federalist and a graduate of the University of Mary Washington.
