“I don’t think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This is a sick person who believes violence is a solution, and it isn’t.”
Jimmy Kimmel returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday night, for the first time since his controversial remarks about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The late-night host was suspended for nearly a week but took little time to clarify his comments, declining to offer a direct apology.
“You understand that it was never my intention to make light of a murder of a young man. I don’t think there’s anything funny about it,” Kimmel said in his opening monologue, which was cut several times by audience applause.
Kimmel had previously suggested that Tyler Robinson, the alleged killer, was tied to the MAGA movement. On Tuesday, he attempted to soften that claim. “I don’t think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This is a sick person who believes violence is a solution, and it isn’t,” he said.
