CNN Host Plays Video of What Kimmel Said, Then Tries to Convince Us We Didn’t Just Hear What We Heard – Twitchy

The Democrats and lib media continue to try and spin what Jimmy Kimmel said that led to his show getting canceled, at least for now. The Left’s attempts to make Kimmel’s canning about Trump and “free speech” are desperate and the panic over losing another one of their late-night propagandists is palpable. 

What got Kimmel pulled off the air was lying about the man charged with murdering Charlie Kirk. Kimmel said this: “The MAGA gang is desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.”

Yeah, that’s because the gunman wasn’t “one of them.”

Kimmel’s words seem pretty straightforward, but allow a CNN host to explain why you didn’t hear what you very clearly heard: 

Jimmy Kimmel: “The MAGA gang is desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.”

Kimmel “did not appear to suggest” that? Well, there was really no “appear to” about it because that’s flat-out what he said. 

CNN finally plays the clip and then tries to gaslight its audience that they didn’t hear what they heard.

This is an example taken straight out of 1984. You didn’t hear what you thought you heard, now let us tell you what he really said. Don’t believe your eyes and ears.

If George Orwell were still around he’d be suing CNN for stealing his stuff. 

I’m gobsmacked at how they can play the audio clip and STILL say what they say. https://t.co/kkaYWZJI0H pic.twitter.com/PVcYgdCLZ0
