The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is warning that it may take immediate action against Jimmy Kimmel, his network ABC, and Disney in response to remarks the late-night TV host made in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination this week.

During a monologue on Monday evening, Kimmel said, “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
