A spokesperson for Turning Point USA said that Jimmy Kimmel’s comments on his show after he returned on Tuesday from an ABC suspension are not sufficient, asserting that the late-night TV host made false statements that need correcting.

Andrew Kolvet, a spokesperson for the group that was co-founded by Charlie Kirk in 2012, said that Kimmel needs to address his previous comments before ABC suspended him this past week.
