Fox News contributor Kennedy on Thursday expressed concern that Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension could set a dangerous precedent moving forward.
Kimmel’s suspension on Wednesday sparked a national discussion about censorship and free speech. It came after the late night host accused MAGA supporters of trying to distance themselves from Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer. Kimmel even suggested that the killer — in spite of the latest information indicating he holds left-wing views — is one of them. Additional reporting revealed the suspension was also motivated by pressure from President Donald Trump’s administration.
On Thursday’s episode of Outnumbered, Kennedy explained how ABC’s decision — as well as the comments from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr — could spark retaliation when the Democrats eventually come back into power:
I do have an issue with some of the statements made by Brendan Carr because if there were an FCC commissioner on the other side of the political spectrum — from someone maybe on this network — and they didn’t like their speech, would they put pressure on some of the advertisers? And if someone from Fox moved on to Fox Broadcast, to some of the owned and operated stations there, that’s the part of this that I do not like.
