Obama Calls Pulling Kimmel’s Show ‘Government Coercion’

Former President Barack Obama slammed ABC for pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the airwaves.

Said Obama: “After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.”

He added: “This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.”
