After news broke that late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was cancelled by Disney over his comments about Charlie Kirk, US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer took to social media to question the motivations behind the abrupt cancellation.
Schumer wondered in a Thursday afternoon post on X whether “Epstein” was “the real reason” Kimmel was forcibly scrubbed from the airwaves, reports Fox News Digital.
“IS EPSTEIN THE REAL REASON TRUMP HAD KIMMEL CANCELED?!” Schumer asked in the post, which also included a screenshot of a New York Times article about how all the popular late-night hosts, including Kimmel, have used the newly released Epstein documents to roast the president over his alleged association with the disgraced financier.

Fingers crossed Schumer can pull together a nice letter on this to sort it out.

Keep pushing it and we can make it a strongly-worded letter.

Oh? What is the Epstein list that has not been released um-redacted have to do with it?

Trump is running out of distractions.
It's so mind boggling how much he was in the Epstein files and then made it his whole fucking platform that other people were in the Epstein files.
