The right of freedom of association, also a 1st amendment right, says companies are free to associate or not associate with anyone of their choosing. So I would not argue that companies cannot fire employees who do not represent well the companies they work for. In fact, I recall employees fired from their jobs years ago because they flew confederate flags at their homes. So yes, Kimmel's employers are free to decide that Kimmel is not a suitable representative for their company.
I actually think, based on comments I read by Bob Iger and other execs, that this was really just the last straw for them regarding Kimmel. There is muc more to this than the comment he made about Charlie Kirk's murder.
But, according to reports I have read, the FCC chair made a comment "we can do this the easy way or the hard way", which is IMO a direct threat to Kimmel's employers. Whether they acted on it or not is irrelevant. The government should stay out of these things because the government is there to protect free speech.

It's definitely bad optics. Shouldn't even be thinking that way much less say it.

Anna Navarro is as dumb as AOC, and that is pretty dumb. Having Pete Buttjudge with his husband and two children out in public would have made the Democrat losses even worse. It is that image that people are both tired of and disgusted with. Why can't this imbeciles get that through their heads? As a Republican, I hope they do push more of that because it only helps Republicans.

The FCC forces over the air transmission entities to self censor, that's why there's 7-13 second delay for broadcasting live events. But I agree that as the FCC chair one shouldn't be even hinting at threats based on opinion no matter how vile.

We have to ask how in the world this America hating, terrorist supporting, Jew hating, crank ever won a seat in congress - twice. The answer is far more scary than she is. We cannot solve the Ilhan Omar problem until we solve the problem that gave her to us.
btw, I read reports that the people of her district were threatened to vote for her or face harm from the Somali community. Not sure I believe that or not. I prefer to believe that they voted for her because she is one of them, or they are just more of her. IT just seems like a more plausible explanation. This is just another example of Democrats opening the borders to destroy America one district at a time.
