I read the newspaper and watch TV news with great sadness as I observe that the current administration is attacking the constitutional rights of citizens, whether they are TV personalities, elected officials, or ordinary people. Everyone has a right to criticize the president and his policies without facing retribution.
I never watch late-night TV and am only familiar with Jimmy Kimmel from his role as host of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire". He has a right to express his opinion on a TV show viewed by millions. “Taken together, the attacks on all of our media institutions is certainly unprecedented in modern American history,’’ said Victor Pickard, a professor of media policy at the University of Pennsylvania. “I can’t think of any parallel.”
I never heard of Charlie Kirk until his assassination. I don't know what his impact was while he was living, but he became a martyr to the MAGA people. He did not deserve to die. He was assassinated by one individual.
Public officials have a right to peacefully protest the conditions imposed on immigrants who were arrested and detained.
I pray for the future of our nation.
