Jimmy Kimmel suspension sparks debate over free speech, FCC authority

ABC has indefinitely suspended late-night host Jimmy Kimmel following his controversial comments linking a suspected shooter to the MAGA movement. FCC Chair Brendan Carr criticized Kimmel's remarks and pressured ABC to take action, while President Trump supported the suspension. Former President Obama and constitutional law expert Steven Winter expressed concerns over free speech implications, with Winter arguing that the suspension violated the First Amendment and set a dangerous precedent for political speech protection.
