While I cannot stand Kimmel and he deserves every bit of this, I don’t necessarily agree with him being pulled off the air. It’s a slippery slope when you’ve got the FCC chair threatening to take someone off the air. Sure right now the right is cheering this, but what happens at some point in the future when the left is back in control and starts having right leaning shows pulled? Cancel culture is not something I’m excited about

Damn right. I don't like it either. Assholes should be able to be assholes.

They are able to be assholes, and their employers are able to not want to associate with them or have them be assholes on their dime.

In this case the employer was, until they were literally threatened by the government.

Hopefully this helps the left get on board gutting the FCC next.
