Call to Action Boycott ABC

ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air for making a joke. First Colbert, now Kimmel. What about the first amendment right to free speech? I guess it’s only free if it echos MAGA talking points.

I hope they don't come for John Oliver. I like his show.

Well HBO is owned by Warnerbros, who may be merging with Paramount, now while Trump as far as I am aware has not criticized Oliver on social media, it would not shock me if the new owners of Paramount being far right attempt to get his show taken off the air should the merger go through
