Erika Kirk revealed that Sinclair executives quietly reached out to her and asked directly whether she wanted them to extract an apology from late-night host Jimmy Kimmel amid fallout over his comments about the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! was removed from air mid-September after the host argued that the “MAGA gang” was “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.”
The comments were then highlighted by Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr on a podcast, triggering a pile-on by affiliate conglomerates Nexstar and Sinclair, which led to ABC pulling Kimmel while launching an internal review. Kimmel was later restored to air.
In a clip released ahead of her first on-camera discussion since her husband’s death however, Kirk tells Fox News host Jesse Watters she was approached by Sinclair representatives after Kimmel’s comments.
“Jimmy Kimmel lied about your husband’s murder and didn’t really apologize, what would you say to Jimmy Kimmel?” Watters asked.
Kirk then revealed the executives offered to take tangible steps to force an apology: “Same thing I told Sinclair. They asked, I haven’t really told anybody this, so they asked, ‘Do you want Jimmy to give you an apology? Do you want to be on a show? How can we make it right?’ Through our team, I responded, I said, ‘Tell them thank you, we received their note. This is not our issue, not our mess.’”
Regarding Kimmel, she said: “If you want to say I’m sorry to someone who’s grieving, go right ahead. But if that’s not in your heart, don’t do it. I don’t want it. I don’t need it.”
In his return monologue following the suspension, Kimmel said it was “never [his] intention” to “make light” of the assassination and grew emotional as he spoke about Erika Kirk’s act of forgiving Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing her husband on the Utah Valley University campus on Sept 10. He did not, however, offer an apology for his misleading comments.
Watters’s interview with Kirk will air in full on Wednesday, November 5 at 8PM (ET) during Fox News Channel’s Jesse Watters Primetime.
