Per Oliver Darcy, OF COURSE the Jimmy Kimmel suspension is about protecting NexStar's MERGER. "Nexstar is working to merge with TEGNA, in a deal that requires FCC approval." When your only value is shareholder value, you'll lose your company, and YOU DESERVE TO.

MANKATO, Minnesota (AP) - Charlie Kirk stood 80 miles from where George Floyd was murdered, faced an overwhelmingly white audience, and declared he was going to say things "no one dares say out loud."
What followed was an avalanche of aspersions and debunked claims about Floyd, the Black man whose death at the hands of a
Minneapolis police officer set off a global reckoning over racial injustice and broad calls for change. But the white conservative agitator had a counter view: Floyd was a "scumbag," he said, unworthy of the attention.

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

WE ARE NOT THE SAME! Stephen Miller said that Kirk's last message to him was a call to dismantle radical left organizations fomenting violence across the US and he will make this happen in Kirk's name. Right extremists were responsible for 75% of all extremist murders in the US from 2013 till now. 🤨
