This decision followed controversial comments by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who falsely claimed Kirk&#8217;s shooter was a MAGA supporter, leading Sinclair to suspend Kimmel&#8217;s show on their ABC affiliates.Shortly after,Anibal Hernandez Santana allegedly fired shots at an ABC affiliate station in Sacramento,motivated by anti-Trump sentiments and threatening notes. He was arrested and faces multiple charges including federal offenses.Sinclair&#8217;s cautious response reflects a growing pattern of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >left-wing motivated violence<\/a>, highlighted by recent attacks such as the shooting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas. Officials, including the Department of Homeland Security, have warned that antagonistic rhetoric from the left may incite such violence, differentiating it from right-wing violence, which they argue is not inspired by right-wing rhetoric. the article emphasizes that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bill-would-allow-feds-to-purge-u-s-military-and-local-police-using-charges-of-hate-crimes\/\" title=\"Bill Would Allow Feds To Purge U.S. Military And Local Police Using Charges Of \u2018Hate Crimes\u2019\">left-wing threats<\/a> and violence are part of a intentional tactic to intimidate and terrorize.  <\/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<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>We now know why Sinclair Broadcasting Network never aired their special tribute to slain Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk &mdash; threats of leftist violence were too grave to ignore.<\/p>\n<p>After late night host Jimmy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-sinclair-brings-jimmy-kimmels-show-back-abc-affiliated-stations-ending-blackout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kimmel<\/a> told a blatant and malicious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-scott-jennings-rains-fire-watching-kimmels-lying-self-centered-unfunny-return-air\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lie<\/a> on Sept. 15 that Kirk&rsquo;s shooter was a MAGA supporter, Sinclair said they would not air his show, as the corporation owns more than 40 affiliates of ABC.<\/p>\n<p>In the immediate aftermath of that decision, the company told viewers that broadcasting in Kimmel&rsquo;s time slot would instead feature a tribute to Kirk.<\/p>\n<p>The decision was reversed later on Sept. 19, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/09\/22\/media\/charlie-kirk-tribute-scrapped-by-sinclair-after-local-tv-giant-got-threats-against-its-abc-stations-source\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a> reported that the decision came down to &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sinclair-still-wont-air-kimmel-until-he-apologizes-to-kirks-family\/\" title=\"Sinclair Still Won&#039;t Air Kimmel Until He Apologizes To Kirk&#039;s Family\">local threats directed<\/a> at specific local ABC stations&rdquo; resulting from the Kimmel suspension.<\/p>\n<p>That same day, Anibal Hernandez Santana opened fire, allegedly shooting an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-suspect-accused-shooting-abc-affiliate-kimmel-suspension-appears-anti-trump-leftist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABC<\/a> affiliate &mdash; KXTV in Sacramento &mdash; when he fired once in the air then drove around to the front of the building and fired three more shots in the lobby when one employee was present.
