Trump says Charlie Kirk could have become president while Obama tears Kimmel “ Cancel the culture ”

Experts in freedom of expression said that Kimmel could have a strong legal affair against Carr, in particular after the unanimous decision of the Supreme Court in May that civil servants cannot use their power to punish the speech.

Judge Sonia Sotomayor then wrote that “the first amendment prohibits government representatives from manipulating their power selectively to punish or suppress the speech, directly or … through private intermediaries.”

In the comments Wednesday before Kimmel’s suspension, Carr said: “These companies can find ways to change driving and take measures, frankly, on Kimmel, where there will be additional work for the FCC to come.”

Alex Abdo of the Knight First Amendment Institute of Columbia University, said that Carr’s comments are read as “the definition of unconstitutional coercion”.

But Kimmel may not want to continue for “all kinds of companies and even contractual reasons,” said Eugene Volokh, UCLA law professor.

Even so, Volokh said: “It is simply not something that the president of the FCC should do, the comedy police.”

The Democratic leader of the Senate calls for the eviction of Brendan Carr

The Democratic leader of the Senate, Chuck Schumer, calls for the resignation or dismissal of the president of the Federal Commission for Communications Brendan Carr following his threats which may have led to the suspension of ABC of Jimmy Kimmel.

“What Brendan Carr does is despicable,” said Schumer, a New York Democrat in a video on social networks. “What he did to Jimmy Kimmel that he does to the person after person, to network after the network – intimidate and threaten them.”

Schumer called President Donald Trump to fire Carr if he does not resign.

Democrats introduce Bill to protect freedom of expression while denouncing Kimmel’s suspension

Congress Democrats denounce threats from the Trump administration against political criticism in the strongest terms, saying that it strikes fundamental right to freedom of expression.

A group of members of the Chamber and Senators unveiled a bill on Thursday which would strengthen the protections of freedom of expression against government representatives. Although the legislation is unlikely to gain ground in the congress controlled by the Republican, the Democrats at the press conference severely criticized the Trump administration for having put ABC pressure towards the suspension of the program of Jimmy Kimmel after his comments on the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk.

“He is repugnant, repugnant that the Trump administration perversely uses this horrible death to overeat their long -standing campaign against political opponents,” said Senate Democrat, Chuck Schumer.

The Senator of the Cramer Gop says that ABC needed “a little fear”

Northern Dakota senator Kevin Cramer told journalists that he was not afraid that a “veiled threat” of the FCC may have led to the suspension of ABC by Jimmy Kimmel.

“If that’s what scares ABC, maybe they need a little fear,” said Cramer on Thursday.

Democratic senator Richard Blumenthal called the networks “to get up and show a backbone”. Blumenthal called Kimmel’s suspension a censorship that could “spread like cancer”.

“It is someone’s frank gap that expresses views of the public square,” said Blumenthal. “And if it is not interrupted now, he will simply continue to go up and spread, and finally we will be the losers.”

Erika Kirk will serve as the next CEO of Turning Point

The widow of Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk, will be the next leader of her organization Turning Point.

The group’s council announced Thursday that Erika Kirk was unanimously elected to be the new CEO and chairman of the group’s board of directors.

“In previous discussions, Charlie expressed several leaders that it was what he wanted in the event of death,” said the group in an article on social networks announcing the decision.

Obama calls for the suspension of Kimmel’s spectacle `Dangerous’ ”

Former President Barack Obama said the Trump administration was taking “cancel the culture” at a “new and dangerous level”, while weighed on the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s late evening for comments he made on the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Obama said on X that the current administration had complained for years to “cancel the culture” of the left, but that it “systematically threatened regulatory measures against media companies unless they muzzle or journalists and commentators do not like”.

The former president shared a report on how the president of the FCC said he could hold ABC and the parent of Walt Disney Co. responsible for the spread of disinformation.

Kimmel suggested during his Monday evening monologue that the suspect in the murder of Kirk, Tyler Robinson, could have been a pro-Trump republican. The authorities say that the 22-year-old grew up in a conservative household in southern Utah, but his parents told investigators that he had turned politically to the left and pro-LGBTQ rights in the past year.

Trump maintains that Jimmy Kimmel’s show was withdrawn due to “bad grades”

“And he said a horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk,” said Trump.

The president was asked if freedom of expression was more attacked in Britain or the United States. He repeated his point of view that Kimmel is not talented. Kimmel brutally criticized Trump and Trump’s administration in many of his routines.

“He had very bad grades, and they should have dismiss him a long time ago,” said Trump. “So you know, you could call it or not. He was dismissed for lack of talent.”

Trump says he wants to finalize Tiktok in accordance with XI Friday

The president said at a press conference said that the United States obtained a “plus” for negotiating the sale of Tiktok assets to an American buyer, adding that he personally uses video application on “very legitimate” social networks.

The application associated with China has raised national security problems, which prompted a law forcing its owner to sell US Tiktok operations or to prohibit application. Trump has extended the deadline for ban on several occasions since January. Trump is expected to speak on Friday with Chinese chief Xi Jinping.

Trump said that conservative activist Charlie Kirk first encouraged him to get on Tiktok.

Trump says Charlie Kirk could have been president

“Some people said he could be president one day. I said to him:” Charlie, I think you have a good blow to a president. “”

Trump said the conservative activist was “assassinated in a stimulating way for having said his mind.” He plans to attend his commemorative service on Sunday in Arizona.

Democratic leaders of the House require that the president of the FCC “ resigning immediately ” after the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel

Democratic leaders of the Chamber are the resignation of the president of the Federal Communications Commission Brendan Carr and accusing him of “intimidation” ABC to suspend the host at the end of the evening.

In a joint statement, the leaders – including the chief of the Hakeem Jeffries House – said that this decision was part of Trump’s efforts and the Republicans to carry out a “war on the first amendment”.

“The censorship of artists and the cancellation of shows are an act of cowardice,” said the press release.

They also promised to investigate the suspension, even if this requires “unleashing of the power of assignment of the congress”.
