Kimmel is cancelled and being threatened by the FCC. Kilmeade isn't even facing consequences at all.

We had some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it, - Kimmel

"That's the way it has to be now. Or, involuntary lethal injection. Yeah. Or something. Just kill ‘em, yeah,” Kilmeade said in response to his co-host suggesting homeless people suffering from mental illness be imprisoned if they do not accept treatment.

This tracks for the first year of a fascist regime.

God fucking dammit.

We need to extinguish the maga flame as soon possible. Boycotts galore!

No they haven't, we can both lose if enough people have nothing left.

It probably won't matter to the fascist fucks, but maybe if enough people contact them about Kilmeade, they'll actually fire him. I just contacted them demanding he be fired.

Why would he have consequences?

The people who could put pressure on kilmeade have cowardly run away from any platform where there could have applied pressure.

ABC is a broadcast network so relies on a licence from the FCC. Fox News is cable so doesn’t.

Faux News is broadcast where I am.
