Part 2/11:
Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative figure, was recently involved in a tragic incident 11 days prior, which resulted in a shooting that claimed lives—an event many decried as horrific regardless of ideological lines. Kimmel, in a post-murder discussion, condemned gun violence and subtly alluded to how some on the right were attempting to weaponize the incident for political gains. His comments, which did not directly insult Kirk or make light of his death, were mischaracterized by some conservative media outlets as offensive or inappropriate.
