We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday,\u201d the company stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his monologue last week, Kimmel suggested that Tyler Robinson, the suspect in Kirk\u2019s killing, could have been a pro-Trump Republican.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe MAGA Gang (is) 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,\u201d Kimmel said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABC\u2019s suspension drew quick praise from President Donald Trump. Trump and senior administration officials have accused the \u201cradical left\u201d of being responsible for the death of Kirk, while rejecting the Democrats\u2019 argument that political violence has been a problem from both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr threatened last week to take action against Disney and ABC over the comments, noting that the FCC could consider revoking licenses of ABC affiliate stations as a penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the suspension sparked widespread backlash from Hollywood stars and unions. More than 400 Hollywood celebrities, including Tom Hanks and Jennifer Aniston, have signed an American Civil Liberties Union open letter in support of Kimmel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, the Walt Disney Company announced that late-night talk show &ldquo;Jimmy Kimmel Live!&rdquo; will return to the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), nearly a week after being suspended over remarks&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9006,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[8],"class_list":["post-9005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world"],"authors":[{"term_id":8,"user_id":1,"is_guest":0,"slug":"yolaunicaquehay","display_name":"RRebeldeAdminWP","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e6145d63ff95c9a0f0e53b7149804b1faf86748d6cc15f466103269a288ea377?s=96&d=mm&r=g","0":null,"1":"","2":"","3":"","4":"","5":"","6":"","7":"","8":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9005"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9005\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9007,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9005\/revisions\/9007"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9005"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=9005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
