I found precisely one thing wrong with Kimmel's comments. It has not been established either way that the alleged murderer of Charlie Kirk is MAGA or not. It might not be a simple answer
That could have been dealt with by an apology.
The rest is valid.
However, when with someone like Trump, he cannot brook any criticism or dissent. He is willing to use the levers of state to silence his critics.
Thus ABC finds itself in a very difficult position. Sacrifice Kimmel or risk the entire company.
Trump often chickens out, but only if you have big enough guns to make him think twice about the political cost.
Does ABC have the guns? I don't think it does. Money has always been the biggest talker in the United States.
The dark truth is that in this world, acquiescence is often the less risky option to your life and that of others. At the cost of a lot of guilt. A clear conscience can cost you everything as many have learned over the centuries.
I would be willing to be martyred for my beliefs, but what if others would suffer for my decisions?
Many will have to make some tough choices in the years ahead.
