Teachers Fired for Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Assassination File Lawsuits.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: Multiple teachers and education staff are suing their employers after being terminated or placed on leave for controversial social media posts about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Teachers, professors, and other school staff, alongside universities, school districts, and legal experts.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Lawsuits have been filed in Indiana, Iowa, South Carolina, and South Dakota over the past two weeks.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I have no thoughts or prayers for this hate spreading nazi. A shrug, maybe.” — An art professor in South Dakota

🎯IMPACT: The cases could set significant legal precedents regarding public employees’ First Amendment rights and employers’ social media policies.

IN FULL

Several teachers and school district employees are attempting to challenge their firings over social media posts justifying or celebrating the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk, and in some instances glorifying political violence more generally. The plaintiffs, across several lawsuits, claim their terminations violate their First Amendment rights.

One of the plaintiffs, a former staff member at Ball State University in Indiana, is suing the university after being dismissed for posting on Facebook, “Charlie Kirk’s death is a reflection of the violence, fear and hatred he sowed. It does not excuse his death, AND it’s a sad truth.” Similarly, an art teacher in Iowa filed a suit after being dismissed for posting “1 Nazi down” in reference to Kirk’s assassination.

In South Carolina, an elementary school teaching assistant is suing her district over what her lawsuit claims is an unconstitutional social media policy. She was fired after quoting Kirk on gun deaths and adding the phrase “thoughts and prayers.”

Meanwhile, an art professor in South Dakota is seeking to block his termination after posting, “Where was all this concern when the politicians in Minnesota were shot? And the school shootings? And capital police? I have no thoughts or prayers for this hate spreading nazi. A shrug, maybe.”

The lawsuits follow calls from many Americans urging employers to take action against people celebrating Kirk’s assassination. Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of Education Linda McMahon have both expressed support for firings in such cases.

The legal challenges are expected to test the boundaries of public employees’ First Amendment rights. Some legal experts contend that public employers—unlike the private sector—must demonstrate that social media posts caused significant disruption to justify termination.

‘John Brown Club’ Recruiting Students Using Slogan Scrawled on Charlie Kirk Assassin’s Ammunition.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: “Hey, Fascist! Catch!” flyers recruiting for the “John Brown Club” have appeared on Georgetown University campus, under a slogan scrawled on the ammunition used by Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk’s assassin.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The “John Brown Club,” Georgetown University students, and Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson.

📍WHEN & WHERE: September 24, 2025, at Georgetown University.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The John Brown Gun Club is the Antifa militia group that the 2019 Tacoma ICE Antifa gunman was a member of.” – Andy Ngo

🎯IMPACT: The flyers have raised concerns about potential violence and prompted calls for an FBI investigation due to Antifa ties.

IN FULL

Flyers recruiting for the “John Brown Club” have appeared on Georgetown University’s campus, featuring the slogans “Hey, Fascist! Catch!”—a phrase scrawled on the ammunition used by Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassin—and “The only political group that celebrates when Nazis die.”

The John Brown Club poster includes a QR code leading to a sign-up page, stating, “We’re building a community that’s done with ceremonial resistance and strongly worded letters. If you want to make a real change in your community, let us know below.”

This appears to be a barely concealed allusion to political violence, given the association of the “Hey, Fascist! Catch!” slogan with Kirk’s assassination and the terroristic activities of the historical John Brown.

John Brown, a white slavery abolitionist, was involved in the Pottawatomie Massacre targeting pro-slavery civilians in Kansas in 1856, and led a failed raid on a U.S. arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in 1859. Notably, Brown’s first victim during the Harpers Ferry raid was black freeman Heyward Shepherd, who was shot in the back. Brown was captured alive by U.S. Marines led by Robert E. Lee and hanged as a traitor, murderer, and insurrectionist after a trial.

The John Brown Club is likely linked to the John Brown Gun Club, noted to have ties to Antifa and an anti-ICE shooting in Tacoma, Washington, by journalist Andy Ngo. This has resulted in calls for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to take action over the flyers, as President Donald J. Trump has designated Antifa as a terrorist organization.

DOJ to Indict Ex-FBI Chief Comey for Lying to Congress: Report.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice (DOJ) reportedly plans to indict former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey for lying to Congress.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Former FBI Director James Comey and the U.S. Department of Justice.

📍WHEN & WHERE: A grand jury is reportedly underway in Virginia, with a decision expected soon.

💬KEY QUOTE: “DOJ officials are close to deciding whether to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly lying to Congress in September 2020,” a source said.

🎯IMPACT: Charges against Comey would mark a significant move against Democrat and Democrat-aligned public officials involved in lawfare campaigns against President Donald J. Trump and conservatives, yet to face any significant charges.

IN FULL

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is close to indicting former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey for lying to Congress, according to reports. According to a source, “There is a grand jury underway looking at the matter in Virginia. A decision could come any day.”

Comey “is expected to be indicted in the coming days in the Eastern District of Virginia, where a prosecutor who opposed bringing the case was recently fired, three sources familiar with the matter told MSNBC,” according to network reporter Ken Dilanian.

No official announcement has been made by the DOJ regarding the timeline or specifics of their investigation as of the time of publication.

On Sunday, President Donald J. Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the DOJ’s lack of action against Democrat and Democrat-aligned public officials associated with lawfare campaigns against him and his supporters, addressing Attorney General Pam Bondi directly.

“Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, ‘same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff, Leticia??? They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

“We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”

GOP Proposes Bill to Feature Charlie Kirk on Silver Dollar.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: Two House Republicans plan to introduce a bill to mint a commemorative coin honoring Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk after his assassination.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Representatives August Pfluger (R-TX) and Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ).

📍WHEN & WHERE: The bill is expected to be introduced later this week, following Kirk’s assassination at a Utah Valley University campus event earlier in September.

💬KEY QUOTE: “His life must be commemorated, and this coin will allow us to pass a reminder of his remarkable life on to generations to come.” – Rep Abe Hamadeh

🎯IMPACT: If passed, Kirk would become the youngest American to appear on U.S. currency, cementing his legacy.

IN FULL

House Republicans August Pfluger (R-TX) and Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) are introducing legislation to honor assassinated Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk with a commemorative silver dollar coin. The bill would authorize the U.S. Treasury to mint 400,000 silver dollars featuring Kirk’s image on one side and the words “Well done, good and faithful servant” on the other. The Treasury Secretary would determine the final design in consultation with President Donald J. Trump.

“Since 1892, Congress has authorized commemorative coins to celebrate and honor historic American patriots,” Hamadeh said. Calling Kirk an “American treasure,” he said Kirk “tirelessly sacrificed his time, energy, and money to save this nation for future generations.” Hamadeh added, “Ultimately, at the hands of a radical leftist, he sacrificed his life. His life must be commemorated, and this coin will allow us to pass a reminder of his remarkable life on to generations to come.”

If passed, the bill would make Kirk, who was 31 when he was assassinated, the youngest person ever featured on U.S. currency. Federal law prohibits living people from being depicted on American coins or bills, limiting the honor to those who have passed.

Pfluger said the coin would serve as a “fitting honor that cements his extraordinary legacy alongside presidents and founding fathers who shaped our republic.” He added, “Charlie Kirk was a conservative titan whose transformational impact on millions of Americans deserves permanent recognition alongside our nation’s greatest leaders and influential figures.”

Kirk’s death has sparked several tributes, with Sinclair Broadcasting Group announcing it would preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! across its ABC affiliates to air a televised tribute to Kirk after criticizing Kimmel for “deeply insensitive” remarks about the assassination.

Turning Point USA has also vowed to continue its “American Comeback Tour” in Kirk’s honor. At upcoming events, an empty chair will be left on stage in his memory, and his widow, Erika Kirk, has been named Chairwoman and CEO of the organization.

ICE Director Reports 1,000% Increase in Assaults on Agents Following Sniper Attack.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Todd Lyons reported a more than 1,000 percent increase in assaults on ICE officers following a deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, CNN’s John Berman, and authorities investigating the Dallas shooting.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The shooting occurred on the morning of September 24 at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I’ve never seen threats on law enforcement, specifically ICE, increased the way it is. You know, we’re up over 1,000 percent assaults on officers right now.” – Todd Lyons

🎯IMPACT: The sniper attack highlights the growing threats against ICE officers, fueled by Democrat rhetoric.

IN FULL

On September 23, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Todd Lyons discussed the deadly shooting at a Dallas ICE facility that left two dead earlier in the day, saying it comes amid a huge spike in anti-ICE attacks.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my law enforcement career. I’ve never seen threats on law enforcement, specifically ICE, increased the way it is. You know, we’re up over 1,000 percent assaults on officers right now,” Lyons told CNN. He attributed the violence to escalating anti-law enforcement rhetoric, noting, “It just keeps getting worse and worse, and it has to stop.”

In August, the same facility faced a bomb threat, leading to an arrest. On July 4, an ambush at the Prairieland ICE facility near Dallas saw attackers in tactical gear use fireworks to lure officers into the open before opening fire on them in a premeditated assault. The ambush saw ten people charged with attempted murder after firing 20–30 rounds at officers, wounding at least one.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel has revealed that ammunition found near the shooter was scrawled with the words “Anti-ICE,” suggesting an ideological motive.

The Trump administration complains that Democrat officials, especially high-profile figures like California Governor Gavin Newsom and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, are normalizing violence towards immigration enforcement agents. Vice President J.D. Vance noted in a speech after the Dallas shooting that Newsom recently described ICE as “part of an authoritarian government,” adding: “You don’t have to agree with Donald Trump’s immigration policies. But if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go straight to Hell, and you have no place in the political conversation.”

Walz, Kamala Harris’s failed 2024 running mate, has gone so far as to smear ICE as “Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo… scooping folks up off the streets,” in reference to Adolf Hitler’s Secret State Police, responsible for rounding up Jews, dissidents, and other perceived enemies of the state.

WATCH: Vance Addresses Anti-ICE Shooting, Murders of Charlie Kirk and Iryna Zarutska.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a speech emphasizing law and order in Concord, North Carolina, on Wednesday, following a sniper attack on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas. His remarks also addressed the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in the state, and the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Vice President J.D. Vance, law enforcement officers, Charlie Kirk, and Iryna Zarutska.

📍WHEN & WHERE: September 24, 2025, in Concord, North Carolina.

💬KEY QUOTE: “So here’s my sacred obligation to you… Over the next couple of years, the Trump Administration is going to do everything that we can to dismantle the networks, to destroy the funding, and to make it harder for people to kill one another just because they disagree with what somebody says.” – J.D. Vance

🎯IMPACT: The speech highlighted ongoing issues of crime, the role of police, and the impact of soft-on-crime policies.

IN FULL

Vice President J.D. Vance addressed a crowd in Concord, North Carolina, on the theme of law and order on Wednesday, following a sniper attack on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas. Joined by officers from various police departments, he also addressed the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zaratuska in North Carolina, and the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk in Utah.

During his speech, Vance called for a return to respecting law enforcement, stating, “We all remember the summer of 2020 when all of these violent protesters were encouraged to treat police as the enemy… Can we all just agree that our police officers are heroes?”

On the deadly sniper attack in Dallas, which he described as “politically motivated” based on the gunman scrawling ‘Anti-ICE’ on some of his rounds, Vance blasted Democrats such as California Governor Gavin Newsom for demonizing ICE agents as “part of an authoritarian government” and the corporate media for lying about their work.

“[W]hat they’re doing is encouraging crazy people to go and commit violence,” Vance said, adding: “You don’t have to agree with Donald Trump’s immigration policies. But if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go straight to hell and you have no place in the political conversation.”

The Vice President also paid tribute to his friend Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder who was assassinated during a public debate event at Utah Valley University recently, apparently by a far-left gunman, saying, “His loss was the nation’s loss.”

He also addressed the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, not far from Concord, saying, “She came from a war-torn country. She sought shelter in the United States of America, and because of soft-on-crime polices, she was murdered here… isn’t that a disgrace?”

Vance is one of many America First leaders who believe the activities of nonprofits funding far-left activism are responsible for much violence against conservatives and law enforcement, and he pledged strong action against them, saying, “[H]ere’s my sacred obligation to you… Over the next couple of years, the Trump Administration is going to do everything that we can to dismantle the networks, to destroy the funding, and to make it harder for people to kill one another just because they disagree with what somebody says.”

London’s Mayor Khan Escalates Feud With ‘Racist, Sexist, Islamophobic’ Trump.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: London Mayor Sadiq Khan attacked President Donald J. Trump after the America First leader labeled him a “terrible mayor” during a United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) speech.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Sadiq Khan, Donald Trump, and various British and American officials.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Trump made his UN speech on Tuesday, and Khan’s response followed on Wednesday in London.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I think Donald Trump has shown he is racist, he is sexist, he is misogynistic, and he’s Islamophobic,” said Khan.

🎯IMPACT: The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between the U.S. President and the London mayor, with Khan accusing Trump of targeting him due to his religion.

IN FULL

London’s divisive mayor, Sadiq Khan, has again attacked President Donald J. Trump, branding him “racist, sexist, and Islamophobic.” This follows the President’s remarks during an address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York this week, where he said, “I look at London, where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor, and it’s been changed, it’s been so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia law. But you are in a different country, you can’t do that.”

Khan, a Pakistani-heritage Muslim and member of Britain’s far-left governing Labour Party, responded, “I think Donald Trump has shown he is racist, he is sexist, he is misogynistic, and he’s Islamophobic.” He argued that Trump is “clearly uncomfortable with a liberal, multicultural, progressive city having a Muslim mayor.”

Trump has frequently criticized Khan’s leadership and called him “a nasty person.” Khan has also accused Trump of racism and Islamophobia before, complaining last year that Trump only criticizes him because of his ethnic and religious background. Their feud dates back to Trump’s first presidential run and term in office, with Khan attacking the America First leader’s so-called “Muslim ban” restricting travel to the U.S. from several Muslim-majority countries with a large jihadist presence, and Trump calling Khan a “stone-cold loser” in return.

While Khan emphasizes London’s diversity as a strength, a recent report suggests that nearly half of all public housing in the capital is occupied by foreign heads of household. A Bangladeshi official also boasted recently that much of the city, which is only around a third ‘White British,’ according to Britain’s 2021 Census, “feels like Bangladesh.”

Another report from earlier this year revealed that as many as one in every twelve Londoners is an illegal immigrant, meaning in real terms that as many as 586,000 illegals may be residing in the British capital.

Hillary Admits Bannon Outmaneuvered Democrats Online.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: Hillary Clinton expressed concerns over Democrats falling behind conservatives in digital communication strategies, particularly in social media and podcasting.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Hillary Clinton, Stephen K. Bannon, and the Democratic and Republican Parties.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Clinton made these remarks during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Wednesday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Right now, most people get their news from social media. So if they’re getting their news from, you know, 15-second videos, three-second takes, three-hour podcasts where people are just kind of unplugged and saying whatever, then Democrats had better compete in those arenas.” – Hillary Clinton

🎯IMPACT: Clinton’s remarks highlight the challenges Democrats face in reaching younger voters and competing in modern digital platforms against conservatives.

IN FULL

Hillary Clinton is warning that Democrats are lagging behind conservatives in the digital space, particularly in the realms of social media and podcasting, which she says are shaping political engagement among younger voters. Speaking on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, the former First Lady and Secretary of State said her party has “stopped being effective communicators in modern communications” and credited former Trump White House Chief Strategist and WarRoom host Stephen K. Bannon with recognizing early on how to engage young men online through “unplugged” podcasts.

“The Republican Party, I have to say, has done a much better job dominating social media, dominating the podcast ecosystem, getting messages out and aiming, particularly at young men,” Clinton remarked, adding that Democrats are still trying to “catch up.” She went on to note that Bannon, specifically, recognized that “young men who were into gaming” and “on the Internet a lot” could be “persuaded to be political supporters of the Republican Party, if the Republican Party actually engaged and talked to them in the right way.”

Clinton emphasized the importance of competing in online “arenas,” noting that most people now get their news from social media and short-form content. “Right now, most people get their news from social media. So if they’re getting their news from, you know, 15-second videos, three-second takes, three-hour podcasts where people are just kind of unplugged and saying whatever, then Democrats had better compete in those arenas,” she stated.

She also warned that the audience watching MSNBC live represents only a “small portion” of voters, underscoring the need for her party to expand its reach.

‘Anti-ICE’ Messages Found After Deadly Sniper Attack, Sources Name Suspect as Joshua Jahn.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: “Anti-ICE messages” were found on rounds near a suspected shooter in a sniper attack at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the suspected shooter, and four people who were shot, including the sniper, named by sources as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn. Two of his victims are confirmed to have died.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The attack targeted an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday morning.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Early evidence that we’ve seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contained messages that are anti-ICE in nature.” – FBI field office head Joseph Rothrock

🎯IMPACT: The shooting highlights ongoing violence against ICE, encouraged by the inflammatory rhetoric of Democrat politicians.

IN FULL

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has confirmed the discovery of “anti-ICE” messages on rounds found “near the suspected shooter” in a deadly sniper attack at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday morning. Four people were shot during the attack, including the sniper, who suffered a “self-inflicted” gunshot. Sources have named him as Joshua Jahn, 29.

FBI Director Kash Patel shared a photograph of the rounds on social media, stating, “While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an [ideological] motive behind this attack.” He added: “One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase ‘ANTI ICE.’ … These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off.”

Speaking at a press conference in Dallas, FBI field office head Joseph Rothrock also confirmed that “Early evidence that we’ve seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contained messages that are anti-ICE in nature,” stressing: “[T]his is just the most recent example of this type of attack.”

A radical leftist previously carried out a sniper attack on ICE officers in Alvarado, Texas, in July, with a responding local police officer being shot in the neck. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reports that attacks on ICE officers generally are up by over 1,000 percent.

Immediately following the Dallas shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said, “While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop.”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) has said the Dallas shooting “will NOT slow our arrest, detention, & deportation of illegal immigrants.”

Trump Slams ABC for Lifting Kimmel’s Suspension: ‘A True Bunch of Losers.’

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J.Trump criticized ABC for reinstating Jimmy Kimmel after his suspension for making false statements about Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk’s assassin, and suggested potential legal action against the network.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, Jimmy Kimmel, ABC, and Charlie Kirk.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Kimmel returned to TV on Tuesday, following a suspension over false statements about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

🎯IMPACT: Sinclair and Nexstar, owning 80 ABC affiliates, have refused to air new episodes of Kimmel’s show, demanding Kimmel issue an apology and a financial donation to Kirk’s family.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump has criticized ABC for reinstating Jimmy Kimmel after his suspension, and floated the possibility of pursuing legal action against the network. Kimmel had been suspended for nearly a week following false statements he made about the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk.

In a Truth Social post, Trump expressed disbelief over ABC’s decision to bring Kimmel back on air. “I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his ‘talent’ was never there,” Trump wrote. “Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE.”

Trump also claimed Kimmel’s actions could be considered an “illegal campaign contribution” due to his partisan bias. “He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings,” Trump added.

Kimmel had previously claimed that Kirk’s assassin, Tyler Robinson, was part of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. However, prosecutors have confirmed that Robinson was motivated by leftist political ideology and hate for Kirk’s conservative views. In his return to television, Kimmel addressed the controversy in a tearful non-apology, claiming, “It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man… nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for what was the actions… of an obviously deeply disturbed individual.”

Despite his reinstatement, major broadcast groups Sinclair and Nexstar, which own approximately 80 ABC affiliates, have refused to air new episodes of Kimmel’s show. Sinclair has also demanded that Kimmel apologize and make a financial donation to Charlie Kirk’s family.
