Andrew Kolvet, member of the Charlie Kirk team, believes that official apology was missing during the return of Jimmy Kimmel to the end of the evening.
Kolvet’s concern occurred a day later Wednesday when he appeared in guests on Fox News Channel US writing room.
“What was missing, in your opinion?” The anchor Bill Hemmer asked for Kimmel’s return after the suspension, to which Kolvet replied: “Well, excuses, for a.”
“Where was” I’m sorry? ” Where was contrition? “He said, adding later:” Everything he had to do was saying: “I’m sorry, I will not do it again, I will do better.” “
Kolvet developed: “Yes, he was emotional, but I think he was emotional because, a, he is really good in front of the camera,” noted Kolvet.
“And, b – Well, I wouldn’t say really well, maybe, but he is used to it – and, B, because he has been under the pistol for a few days. This is what he is emotional.”
Expologies to the Kirk family were one of the requests presented by the regulators for raising the suspension of the Kimmel late evening show. Other requests were personal donation to the Kirk family and Turning Point USA, and discussions with ABC on professionalism and responsibility.
Kimmel’s suspension came from controversial remarks he made on the Conservative activist’s September 10 kirk murder.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! was then reinstated on September 23, during which Kimmel approached his comments in his opening monologue the next day.
“I never intended to shed light on the murder of a young man,” he started, tearing himself apart. “I do not think there is something funny on this subject, nor my intention to blame a specific group for the actions of what was obviously a deeply disturbed individual.”
“It was really the opposite of the point I was trying to do.
He underlined a statement which he had shared immediately after the death of Kirk, sending condolences to the family and condemning armed violence.
However, Kolvet criticized Kimmel’s response to be “provocative”, accusing Kimmel of “analyzing his words” instead of taking responsibility.
He continued by saying that Kimmel should have said to his audience: “It is not correct, I will not start again, and for someone else who thinks of making violence, political violence, of stopping, it is not good.”
He argued that by connecting the Kirk killer to the supporters of Maga, Kimmel suggested “it is normal to lie on the conservatives” and to minimize the tragedy.
