2025-09-18 - Dear Jimmy Kimmel: Welcome to the Marketplace of Ideas

Jimmy Kimmel faced massive backlash for falsely claiming Charlie Kirk's assassin was not radicalized by the left, leading to FCC scrutiny, local ABC affiliates dropping his show, advertiser pressure, and ABC suspending him indefinitely.
President Trump announced plans to designate Antifa as a domestic terror group via Truth Social.
Vice President J.D. Vance emphasized that Kirk's killer was radicalized by far-left ideas and social networks, rejecting "both sides" narratives.
A congressional vote to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar over her comments on Kirk failed narrowly (214-213), with four Republicans (Mike Flood, Jeff Heard, Tom McClintock, Corey Mills) voting to save her.
Barack Obama criticized politicizing tragedies like Kirk's death, drawing irony from the narrator regarding Obama's past actions.
