President Trump on Tuesday evening issued a thinly veiled threat to ABC after they caved and gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back.
“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. 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. 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,” President Trump said on Truth Social on Tuesday evening.
On Monday, ABC announced Jimmy Kimmel would be returning to the airwaves just six days after suspending him for lying about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Later Monday evening, Sinclair Broadcast Group announced they won’t broadcast Jimmy Kimmel Live! across its ABC affiliate stations after ABC caved.
On Tuesday, Nexstar Media Group joined Sinclair Broadcast Group and announced it will not air ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ after ABC caved.
According to Fox News, Nexstar owns 32 ABC affiliate stations and Sinclair operates 30.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel was back at the studio on Tuesday amid a showdown between the networks.
