NBC News’ “Here’s the Scoop”: It’s the late-night controversy lighting up headlines. Jimmy Kimmel criticized Republicans and the MAGA movement in his monologue Monday night, just days after the killing of Charlie Kirk. On Wednesday, Disney and ABC announced his show was suspended indefinitely, hours after FCC Chair Brendan Carr, a Trump appointee, threatened to “take action” against the network for Kimmel’s remarks. The suspension has sparked outrage from Hollywood to Washington, with a former president even weighing in. Host Yamin Vossoughian welcomes constitutional rights expert Corey Brettschneider to address concerns that ABC’s suspension of Kimmel violates the First Amendment.
