The late night host announced that his interview with the Texas Senate candidate will only air on YouTube
Jimmy Kimmel says that his interview with Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico will not air on TV after President Donald Trump’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) threatened Jimmy Kimmel Live!, ABC, their affiliates, and local stations.
During his Wednesday monologue, Kimmel said that while Talarico would stop by the show for an interview on Thursday, viewers at home won’t be able to watch it on broadcast television. Instead, the interview with the Democratic nominee has been relegated to YouTube.
“Tomorrow night, I’ll be interviewing James Talarico — tomorrow night, under unusual circumstances,” Kimmel began. “You know, for a lot of years, for the whole 20-plus years of our show, in fact, I’ve been interviewing Americans who are running for office with no problem at all, just like Letterman did, Leno did, Arsenio, et cetera, et cetera. I’ve interviewed a lot of political candidates from Hillary Clinton to Ted Cruz to Donald Trump himself.”
Totally understand the point you are trying to make, but help me understand why it makes sense for someone left of the DNC to compromise their political beliefs to fight fascism but not for the DNC to do the same? Doesn’t that logic apply equally?
Also the greater good logic is why we are where we are. Why does more of the same = change?
Edit: for clarification…why isn’t the focus on the right leaning DNCers that would defect to MAGA if the DNC shifted left?
