Harris’ 2019 tweet resurfaced after slamming Trump’s administration on Kimmel’s suspension

Elon Musk has resurfaced the former vice-president and former Democratic Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, the call for the ban by President Donald Trump of social media, because she claims the concerns of “freedom of expression” concerning Jimmy Kimmel who was withdrawn from the tunes.

Harris weighed on Disney’s decision to draw “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” ABC! “Apart from the” indefinitely “air, defending Kimmel and slamming what she calls an” abuse of power squarely “by the Trump administration.

“What we are witnessing is an abuse of power squarely. This administration attacks criticism and uses fear as a weapon to silence anyone is expressed. Media companies – from newspaper television networks – are capitulating these threats” Harris wrote on x About the suspension of Kimmel. “We cannot dare to be silent or complacent in the face of this frontal assault against freedom of expression. We, the people, deserve better.”

Many X users, including Musk, the owner of the platform, quickly stressed Harris’ own declarations, some suggested that they seemed to support censorship.

Musk resurfaced a 2019 tweet by Harris when Trump served his first time. Harris, an American senator representing California at the time, was vice-president when she published the post on X, now Twitter.

“Look, be honest, Realdonaldtrump’s Twitter account should be suspended,” Harris wrote on September 30, 2019.

Musk republished the message on Friday, adding a reflection face.

Kimmel’s show was withdrawn after accused the conservatives of having reached “new stockings” trying to pin a left ideology on Tyler Robinson, who is accused of having murdered Charlie Kirk, even if the prosecutors reaffirmed these links in an indictment.

“We have struck new stockings during the weekend with the gang Maga trying desperately to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as something other than one of them and do everything they can to score political points,” said Kimmel, causing indignation.

There have been several questions about the role that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) played in the suspension. Those who question this decision are on both sides of the aisle, with Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, warning the conservatives that they “regret” to define the previous one.

“What he says is that Jimmy Kimmel was lying. It is true, he was lying and led to the American people is not in the public interest,” said Cruz in an episode of his podcast. “He threatens explicitly – we are going to cancel the ABC News license. We will remove it from the air, so ABC can no longer spread … He threatens it.”

The president of the FCC, Brendan Carr, joined Sean Hannity of Fox News on September 17, the day of the announcement of the suspension and defended this decision.

“The diffusers are different from any other form of communication,” said Carr, pointing affiliation groups like Nexstar and Sinclair who announced that they would no longer wear “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” He argued that the local stations acted in an appropriate manner, saying that they “rose to serve the interests of their community”.

“Over the years, the FCC has moved away from the application of this public interest obligation,” said Carr. “I don’t think we are better as a country for that.”

The White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News on Saturday that the decision to “dismiss Jimmy Kimmel and cancel her program came from leaders in ABC”.

“It has now been reported,” said Leavitt. “And I can assure you that it did not come from the White House and there was no pressure from the President of the United States.”
