Andrew Kolvet, member of the Charlie Kirk team, feels that a formal apology was missing during the return of Jimmy Kimmel to the night television.
Kolvet’s concern came a day later on Wednesday when he made a guest appearance in Fox News Channel’s United States Writing Room.
“What was missing, in your opinion?” The presenter Bill Hemmer requested Kimmel’s return after the suspension, to which Kolvet replied: “Well, an apology, on the one hand.”
“Where was the ‘sorry?’ Where was the contrition? “He said, then added:” All I had to do was simply: ‘I’m sorry, I won’t do it again, I’ll do it better. “
Kolvet elaborated: “Yes, I was excited, but I think I was excited because, and it’s really good in camera,” Kolvet said.
“And, B, well, I wouldn’t say very well, maybe, but he’s used to, and, B, because he has been under the gun during the last days. That is what is excited.”
An apology to Kirk’s family was one of the demands filed by regulators for raising the suspension in the Kimmel night show. Other demands were a personal donation for Kirk’s family and the US turning point., And ABC discussions about professionalism and responsibility.
Kimmel’s suspension arose from controversial comments he made about the murder of September 10 to the conservative activist, Kirk.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! He was then reinstated on September 23, during which Kimmel approached his comments on his initial monologue the next day.
“It was never my intention to make the light of a young man’s murder,” he began while crying. “I do not think there is anything fun about it, 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 do. For those who think I pointed to a finger, I understand why you are upset. If the situation was reversed, there was a good possibility that the same would have felt.”
He pointed out a statement he had shared immediately after Kirk’s death, sending condolences to the family and condemning armed violence.
However, Kolvet criticized Kimmel’s response for being “challenging”, accusing Kimmel of “analyzing his words” instead of assuming responsibility.
He continued saying that Kimmel should have told his audience: “This is not right, I will not do it again, and for any other person thinking of doing violence, political violence, stopping, it is not right.”
He argued that by linking Kirk’s murderer with the supporters of Maga, Kimmel suggested “it is good to lie about the conservatives” and minimize the tragedy.
