Difference..

 

In his first night back on air in nearly a week, Kimmel addressed the uproar his earlier commentary had unleashed.

"It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. I don't think there's anything funny about it," the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host told viewers, his voice choking with emotion, moments after taking the stage.

"Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what was obviously a deeply disturbed individual - that was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make," Kimmel, 57, added.

Disney, parent company of the ABC network that airs his show, halted its production on September 17, two days after Kimmel said in his opening monologue that President Donald Trump's supporters were eager to characterize Kirk's accused assassin "as anything other than one of them" and accused them of trying to "score political points" from his killing.

Comment.

These two statements seem like a world of difference. Is this the freedom of speech?

Just a thought.
