Comedian John Oliver and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz found themselves in rare agreement over the weekend as both men attacked America’s media giants for caving in to a “Goodfellas-style” pressure campaign from Donald Trump’s administration over the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! was taken off air “indefinitely” last week after the host criticized the MAGA movement’s response to the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk by saying its members were “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.”
