Suggestion for Jimmy Kimmel

This might be a hairbrained idea, but I think Kimmel should meet with Kirk’s widow. He could explain to her that he was not targeting the hoke at her husband. She might just accept that and echo her husband’s ideas of free speech. It can’t hurt.

4. I'd bet someone in Kimmel's team has communicated with her. I wish there were a way to reduce tensions.

To the casual observer in the 16th century, hares could sometimes appear to behave crazily.

6. She is not gonna let him off the hook. She is making too much money at this.

as the Brits say, she’s got the bit between her teeth now. These “Christians”do not believe in forgiveness. I don’t think Kim will should apologize. He didn’t say anything about her.

10. Yup, it's a huge grift for them. While I believe they actually have right wing views

I think the way they presented themselves was more about getting views and clicks.

They weren't interested in an actual debate on ideas and policy.

Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.

This was his post on BLUESKY.

8. Have you actually seen what she's like in any of her public appearances since his death?

She's been frothing at the mouth and practically calling for civil war.

Jimmy Kimmel didn't say anything wrong and he certainly didn't say anything that would be hurtful to her. Most he should do is clarify that he was poking fun at MAGA and Trump, and not at CK or his family.

Our side needs to stop apologizing and stop assuming that their side is ever acting in good faith.

The last thing she wants is to turn the temperature down. She has a financial interest in doing the opposite.

15. No. NEVER capitulate to people putting UNWARRANTED pressure on you.

It only emboldens those putting that unwarranted pressure on you, and this leads to nothing good.

It's not like these people have kidnapped your family or something, and they are demanding a ransom.

Rather, this is just a bunch of fucking losers throwing their weight around.

Jimmy Kimmel will land on his feet.
