Erika Kirk on Jimmy Kimmel's Comments and Sinclair's Offer
Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk, stated she does not seek an apology from late-night host Jimmy Kimmel for his provocative remarks about her husband's assassination, which led to his show's removal from the air.
Sinclair Broadcast Group's Proposal
Sinclair Broadcast Group, managing numerous ABC-affiliated stations nationwide, reached out to Erika with an offer for her to appear on Kimmel's show where he would apologize.
Erika responded to Fox News' Jesse Watters:
“I told them thank you we received their note. It’s not our mess.”
“If you wanna say I’m sorry to someone who’s grieving, go right ahead. But if that’s not in your heart, then don’t do it.”
Jimmy Kimmel's Controversial Remarks
Kimmel suggested that Kirk’s accused assassin, Tyler Robinson, was likely connected to the “MAGA gang” during his September broadcast:
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
Media Response and Consequences
- Sinclair and Nexstar, the two largest ABC station owners in the U.S., reacted by pulling Kimmel’s show from their broadcasts.
- They also pressured Disney to suspend Kimmel's show, succeeding in that effort.
Author's summary: Erika Kirk declined Sinclair's offer for a Jimmy Kimmel apology, emphasizing sincerity over public gestures amid media backlash after Kimmel’s controversial comments on her husband's assassin.
