A certain amount of effort seems to have been made to convince the public of the MAGAdunnit codswallop. Apart from the usual “stochastic terrorism” nonsense, we saw CNN report the messages the shooter inscribed on his bullets as “cultural phrases” rather than simply tell us what he wrote. Much was made of the fact that the shooter’s parents were Republicans. It’s not surprising that a loyal soldier like Kimmel would push that particular lie.

Whether that’s a firing matter I’m not sure. But if Disney found it offensive enough to justify bowing out of the declining late night market, I have no trouble believing them.
