I know I will be downvoted for this, but to me it’s not really all that comparable. Hear me out…When South Park did the episode recently where they openly mocked all the faces of the right, they mostly took it on the chin, as far as I know. Charlie Kirk himself even reposted it and praised it.
This recent push back seems to be because Charlie Kirk was executed in front of his family and supporters.
STILL, that being said, I don’t think Kimmel should be kicked off the air. But I do think it’s important to add that bit of context.

So? It's a common fascist tactic to use occasions of violence to justify political repression. How, exactly, does a podcaster's (unfortunate) death justify or contextualize any of this?
