‘Do you believe in free speech or not?’: CNN anchor clashes with GOP panelists over Kimmel



CNN anchor Abby Phillip clashed with her GOP colleagues on Wednesday over the decision to suspend "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on network television.

Phillip discussed the move with former Republican Governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker and GOP strategist Scott Jennings. It occurred just hours after Nexstar Media Group, which owns several local ABC affiliates, announced that it is suspending Kimmel's show "indefinitely" because of comments the comedian made about conservative activist Charlie Kirk's slaying.

Phillip questioned the timeline of Kimmel's suspension and the involvement of FCC chairman Brendan Carr in the deal. On Tuesday, Carr gave a threatening interview with MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson, where he claimed that the FCC would be taking active measures to ensure broadcast companies abide by the public interest standard.

Within 24 hours, Kimmel was pulled off the air, Phillip noted.

"Nexstar has a very clear financial interest in not getting on the wrong side of that guy," Phillip said to Walker, talking about Carr. "You don't see the problem with that?"

Both Walker and Jennings argued that Nexstar was making a "business decision" by taking Kimmel off the air.

"Do you believe in free speech or not?" Phillip asked pointedly.

"I do, but you can't expect us to sit with our hands tied behind our backs," Walker said.

MAGA melts down as House Dem refuses to apologize for scathing Charlie Kirk remarks



Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) refuses to back down from her criticism of the slain right-wing activist Charlie Kirk — and MAGA personalities have responded with fury.

After Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA who was renowned for youth engagement and a number of controversial positions about race, religious freedom, and civil rights, was assassinated during an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Omar criticized the media rush to whitewash his beliefs, saying on Zeteo News, "There is nothing more f----- up to completely pretend his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so." She also reposted a comment calling Kirk a "stochastic terrorist."

The right-wing activist rage over Omar was further amplified after she was confronted by far-right Trump confidante Laura Loomer and an associate, ignoring their demands for an apology.

"Moments ago, @IlhanMN fled into her office after @LoomerUnleashed and @TheCharlesDowns asked her if she would apologize for resharing a video calling Charlie Kirk a 'terrorist' following his assassination by a radical leftist," Loomer posted on X. "Omar’s refusal to apologize for embracing political violence is a clear sign that she MUST be removed from her Congressional committees, and MUST be CENSURED immediately."

Many of the commenters cheered on the new push by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) to censure Omar and strip her of committee assignments.

"Rep. Nancy Mace introduces a resolution on the House floor to remove Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar from all of her Committee Assignments. This must pass!" wrote bodybuilder and MAGA commentator Ian Jaeger.

"Nancy Mace just officially filed a Resolution that will REMOVE Ilhan Omar from her committee assignments and censure her! EVERY LAST GOP REP. NEEDS TO BE ON BOARD!" wrote Texas-based MAGA activist "Gunther Eagleman."

"Ilhan Omar is officially in DANGER of being kicked off her committees and CENSURED for justifying Charlie Kirk's assassination," wrote right-wing internet personality Nick Sortor. "Rep. Nancy Mace just filed filed the resolution to make it happen. ALL REPUBLICANS SHOULD SUPPORT THIS! Somali Rep. Omar has ZERO BUSINESS having power over our country."
