MAGA-aligned personalities celebrated news that Nexstar Media Group pulled "Jimmy Kimmel Live" off the airwaves because of the show host's comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk's killing.
In a press release on Wednesday, Nixstar's president of broadcasting announced the company was taking the show off the air "indefinitely" and that Jimmy Kimmel's comments were "offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse."
"Continuing to give Mr. Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the difficult decision to preempt his show in an effort to let cooler heads prevail as we move toward the resumption of respectful, constructive dialogue," Andrew Alford said in the press release.
MAGA-aligned political observers and analysts responded to the news on social media.
“They’re doing their viewers a favor,” the White House’s rapid response account wrote on social media. “Jimmy is a sick freak!”
"This is what accountability and winning looks like," MAGA media personality Dom Lucre posted on X. "Welcome to the Golden Era. We worked hard for this."
"I want to thank Nexstar for doing the right thing," FCC Chairman Brendan Carr posted on X. Local broadcasters have an obligation to serve the public interest. While this may be an unprecedented decision, it is important for broadcasters to push back on Disney programming that they determine falls short of community values."
"Thank you for standing up for Charlie," MAGA influencer Benny Johnson posted on X.
"Holy s---," MAGA podcaster Tim Pool posted on X.
"Holy crap. We did it X!" Libs of TikTok posted on X.
"This might be the END of Kimmel’s career!" MAGA media personality Nick Sortor posted on X. "FAFO, you piece of trash."
