Part 3/10:
The controversy centers around Kimmel's assertion that certain political groups, specifically "the MAGA gang," were attempting to score political points from Kirk's death. Critics argue that this was not only inappropriate but also an attempt to manipulate a tragic event for comedic or political advantage. Many saw this as a blatant misuse of a serious incident to advance a narrative, with Kimmel blaming "the MAGA gang" for political exploits.
Compounding the issue was Kimmel's refusal to issue an apology, asserting that his remarks did not require one. This stance has only fueled further criticism, with some viewing it as a sign of disrespect towards the gravity of the event and the families affected.
