Check it out on Sept 29th.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hardgroove might be right. Kimmel\u2019s temporary cancelation was seen as an attack on free speech, something Public Enemy has championed for decades.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> was suspended by ABC following the host\u2019s monologue covering the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. During his on-air commentary, Kimmel remarked, \u201cThe Maga Gang is desperately trying to portray this individual who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of their own, and they are doing everything possible to leverage this for political advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><d class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Public Enemy Performs &quot;Fight the Power&quot; Medley\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zVb25bG-jdg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/d><\/p>\n<p>Kimmel also mocked supporters flying flags at half-mast and ridiculed Donald Trump\u2019s response, declaring, \u201cThis is not how an adult mourns the murder of someone he refers to as a friend; it resembles how a toddler grieves for a goldfish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The monologue generated outrage among political commentators and several major ABC affiliates, prompting Trump and conservative voices to celebrate and demand further crackdowns on critical speech.
