The sequence of events here could not be clearer, because it was all done in plain view. Carr leaned on broadcasters to take down Kimmel. They did that, sometimes even directly citing Carr while doing so, and then Carr celebrated with a fun GIF. That sure seems like a pretty clear case of the government pressuring companies to censor speech. And it's not like Trump is even trying to hide it.

The 64-year-old man who police said fired three shots into a local ABC studio after late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel was suspended this week reportedly had a social media account that showed a clear hatred for President Donald Trump. Variety reported an X account for Anibal Hernandez-Santana, the suspected gunman, contained a steady stream of anti-Trump commentary. Where is a good heart attack when we need it the most?? Please Join in my thoughts and prayers for the physical demise of our fearful leader, Hernandez-Santana posted on Thursday.

On a recent episode of the show, Kimmel accused MAGA figures of trying to characterize Kirk's killer as anything other than one of them. He also accused them of doing everything they can to score political points from it. Kimmel's comments were met with immediate backlash from the right and even resulted in the FCC threatening ABC. Apparently feeling the pressure from President Donald Trump's administration, ABC decided to take Kimmel and his show off the air for the foreseeable future.
