President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested the Federal Communications Commission reexamine licenses for television networks that repeatedly criticize him.

"They give me only bad publicity or press," Trump said on Air Force One on Thursday. "And I mean, they're getting a license, I would think maybe their license should be taken away. It will be up to Brendan Carr."

Trump praised Carr, the FCC chair, calling him "outstanding" and a "patriot."

The comments came one day after ABC preempted Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show "indefinitely" following comments Kimmel made after the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Before the network's decision was announced on Wednesday evening, Carr had called for Kimmel's suspension over the comments.
