<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">President Donald Trump ripped into ABC on Tuesday for lifting Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, suggesting that he might take legal action against the television network. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kimmel made his return to TV on Tuesday after being suspended for nearly a week over comments he made about the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. In a Truth Social post responding to the move, Trump attacked both Kimmel and ABC. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his ‘talent’ was never there,” Trump wrote. “Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump stated that he may take legal action against ABC over Kimmel’s partisan bias, claiming it could constitute an &#8220;illegal campaign contribution.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings,” Trump added. </span></p>
<p>Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-wins-millions-in-defamation-suit-against-abc-news-george-stephanopoulos">previously</a> won $16 million from ABC after he sued for defamation after host George Stephanopoulos falsely claimed that Trump was found “liable for rape.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kimmel had claimed that Kirk’s assassin was part of Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; movement. Investigators say that the 22-year-old man arrested for Kirk’s killing was deeply steeped in leftist ideology and disliked Kirk for his conservative views.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” </span><a href="https://x.com/newsbusters/status/1967982924986487284"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Kimmel.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In his return on Tuesday night, Kimmel claimed that “it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t think there’s anything funny about it … nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for what was the actions … of an obviously deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make. But I understand that to some that felt either ill-timed or unclear, or maybe both, and to those who think I did point a finger, I get why you’re upset,” Kimmel said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite ABC lifting Kimmel’s suspension, major broadcast groups Sinclair and Nexstar have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/another-broadcasting-company-refuses-to-air-kimmels-show?author=Amanda+Harding&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Another+Broadcasting+Company+Refuses+To+Air+Kimmel’s+Show">both said</a> they will not air new episodes of Kimmel’s show. The two companies own about 80 ABC affiliates. Sinclair has demanded that Kimmel apologize and make a financial donation to Kirk&#8217;s family. </span></p>
