Jimmy Kimmel Blasts Trump From UK, Where Free Speech No Longer Exists

Jimmy Kimmel Blasts Trump From UK, Where Free Speech No Longer Exists On Christmas Day, Jimmy Kimmel delivered a four-minute “Alternative Christmas Message” on the United Kingdom’s Channel 4, during which he positioned himself as a beacon against authoritarianism while warning British viewers that "tyranny is booming" in the United States. Kimmel’s rant, which aired less than two hours after King Charles III's traditional, non-partisan Christmas speech, portrayed America's current political climate as a cautionary tale for democratic nations everywhere. “I do know what's going on over here, though, and I can tell you that, from a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year, ” Kimmel told the UK audience. “Tyranny is booming over here.

His suspension had nothing to do with pressure from Trump or the federal government. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr debunked Kimmel's narrative directly. "Local TV stations said, 'I don't want to run this Kimmel stuff, and we're going to preempt it,'" Carr explained. "And that's a really important moment of local TV stations standing up for their viewers and pushing back against Comcast and Disney." Kimmel referred to his reinstatement as a "September miracle," crediting the decision to "millions and millions of people" who objected to the suspension. "Because so many people spoke out, we came back," he said.
