Jimmy Kimmel's remarks on Charlie Kirk 'inexplicable': Bill O'Reilly

() Bill O’Reilly feels Jimmy Kimmel’s remarks about blaming MAGA for Charlie Kirk’s assassination were outrageous.

“What Kimmel did is inexplicable to me,” O’Reilly told Chris Cuomo. “He had to know on Monday, in his dialogue, how raw the country was over this assassination of Charlie Kirk. He had to know that.”

On Wednesday, ABC announced the cancellation of Kimmel’s show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” which came after Nexstar Media Group announced it would preempt Kimmel’s show and replace it with other programming. Nexstar, which owns , also owns 32 ABC affiliates, including KTVX in Salt Lake City.

During his show on Monday night, Kimmel said the country “hit some new lows over the weekend” when the “MAGA gang desperately tried to characterize this kid who killed Kirk as anything other than one of them.”

Kirk was killed last week during an appearance at Utah Valley University while he debated students with different political views. Kimmel, 57, accused Republicans of trying to “score political points” from his death.

O’Reilly was befuddled that not one team member of Kimmel’s show pushed back on his monologue.

“You have a battery of writers,” he said. “You have a producer on your program. Did no one red-flag you on this? Did no one say anything about this?”

“This isn’t about censorship, all right? This is about responsibility,” O’Reilly added.

Jimmy Kimmel also criticized President Trump during his monologue

Kimmel also aimed at President Trump in his opening after airing a video of Trump taking a question about Kirk’s death. In the video, Trump abruptly changes the subject to talk about a planned White House ballroom.

Kimmel joked Trump was mourning Charlie Kirk “the way a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish.”

Kirk’s death has increased tensions throughout the country, with many labeling it as another example of political violence. While both parties have condemned his murder, Kimmel and other commentators have now faced consequences for their remarks about his death.

MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd was fired shortly after making on-air comments amid the first reports that Kirk had been shot. He apologized and said he wasn’t blaming Kirk for the attack.
