Jimmy Kimmel’s firing by Disney has become a national moment…

David Letterman: “You can’t fire somebody because you’re trying to suck up
to an authoritarian criminal administration in the Oval Office.”

Kerry Washington: “What’s happening across late night is not just unfair,
it’s unjust. Silencing voices threatens freedom of speech, an independent
press, and ultimately, our democracy”

Bernie Sanders: “In authoritarian countries like Russia, Saudi Arabia, you
do not have a media that is allowed to be critical of the government…The
head of the FCC basically said ‘I don’t like what this guy is saying, and
we can take away your license. You better get rid of him.”

Elizabeth Warren: The government is trying to exercise censorship, plain
and simple. This is a moment for every single one of us to speak out, and
speak out loudly.”

People know this is about silencing political critics, and big
corporations go along for the money:

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: “The President said after they had canceled the
Stephen Colbert show that he believed Jimmy Kimmel was next. He repeated
that again in August from the Oval Office.”

Disney’s Congressman, Maxwell Frost: “This is insane. Comes after Trump’s
FCC Chair said that the FCC could move to revoke ABC affiliate
licenses…Disney is making a huge mistake by bending the knee to this
fascist regime.

CNN’s Jake Tapper: “Especially when it comes to critics and speakers they
do not like, there is also a lot of money to be made by a lot of very very
rich men, and they need Trump’s approval to make it.

Comedian Mike Birbiglia: “ If you’re a comedian + you don’t call out the
insanity of pulling Kimmel off the air – don’t bother spouting off about
free speech anymore.”

Barack Obama: “This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the
First Amendment was designed to prevent – and media companies need to
start standing up rather than capitulating to it.”
