New York City mayoral favorite Zohran Mamdani (D) has canceled an ABC town hall in response to the network’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.

Kimmel was suspended last week following comments he made about the killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. The host implied during an opening monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that Kirk’s alleged killer — 22-year-old Tyler Robinson — was a MAGA supporter and that the right was trying to score political points by characterize him as someone from the left. ABC faced threats from President Donald Trump’s FCC, and shortly after that, Kimmel’s suspension was announced. It is still unknown when or if Kimmel will return to the airwaves.

On Monday morning, amNewYork was the first to report on Mamdani’s decision to cancel his appearance at a WABC town hall. The event was scheduled for Thursday, and Mamdani confirmed the move was a direct response to Kimmel’s suspension:
