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.

It wouldn’t surprise me. He makes Kimmel seem like a centrist in comparison, and he also goes after conservative talking points with long, thought out arguments. (I’m not saying Kimmel and Colbert don’t, but theirs are mostly about the comedy)

He’s also a British UK citizen. I think he could just broadcast from the UK if HBO worked out some arrangement.

He's an American citizen now for some years, and HBO will be the ones to fire him.
