Jennings condemned Kimmel&#8217;s refusal to take accountability, calling his explanations &#8220;pathetic&#8221; and accusing him of deliberately misleading the public. Jennings also praised Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nexstar for continuing to withhold Kimmel&#8217;s show despite ABC lifting the suspension.
