Congressman Ruiz speaks on Jimmy Kimmel’s show cancellation
(KYMA) - A California Congressman made a statement regarding the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel's show.
"You know, I believe the Bill of Rights defines the core of our country, and I hope my Republican colleagues recognize their importance," began Raul Ruiz (CA-25). "While you may not agree with the content, canceling ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ out of fear of retaliation from a President who quite literally can’t take a joke, clearly infringes on our First Amendment right to free speech. "
Jimmy Kimmel Live! was pulled from broadcast after the talk show host spoke on Charlie Kirk.
"I look forward to our upcoming FCC oversight hearing, where I will have the opportunity to question Commissioner Carr about these action," said Ruiz.
