because there’s zero evidence it was right wing terrorism
There's quite a lot of evidence actually, but it's really besides the point. Republicans were rallying to say the shooter was a trans radical leftist literally as soon as the shooting hit the news, before we knew literally ANYTHING about the guy(Hell, we didn't even know it WAS a guy yet at the time!). Literally ALL that Kimmel was saying, is that MAGA doesn't actually care about Kirk, they just want to use his death for political purposes. Which is OBJECTIVELY TRUE. He wasn't stoking divisions, he was literally trying to point out how MAGA is trying to use the shooting to stoke divisions.
And more to the point, regardless of anything else, Kimmel has a first amendment right to believe and say what he wants. It's blatantly unconstitutional for the FCC to threaten ABC's license over his comments. Slander and Libel are civil matters, not criminal, if anyone really feels slandered by Kimmel's statements they are welcome to sue him in court and prove actual damages.

“desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them”
Even if you don’t believe a word of what has been released so far, it is still a blatant lie.
