In the last month, the president has openly threatened genocide. Repeatedly.

The same First Amendment that protects his unfunny remarks also protects Kimmel's.

Unless it was that specifically that pertained to the military.

When this happened last year, a number of station owners and advertisers lined up with the White House. This time nobody is. ABC’s response is “see you in court.”
