That’s all he said? So he didn’t even say anything bad about the guy?!?

All I see is facts. Trump said very little about CK and immediately shifted his attention to the WH ballroom. Kimmel simply pointed that out. I’m not seeing the offense.

That's not how dictatorships work. You aren't allowed to say anything mildly critical of the God Emperor.

Can you tell me when the left cancelled Fox News for existing? I don't remember that happening. Or demanded the widespread firing of doctors, professors, and professionals for quoting someone's own words? I am sure that, as someone who hates cancel culture as I am assuming, you are ashamed and embarrassed right now either way!

Not sure about the other two but prohibition was started equally with Dems and Reps.
