Karoline Leavitt Shreds Obama After His Comments
Obama’s Criticism
Former President Barack Obama condemned the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live,
writing on X: “After years of complaining about cancel culture,
the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level…
This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent.”
White House Response
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back on Fox News, saying Obama was wrong.
“With all due respect to former President Obama, he has no idea what he’s talking about…
The decision to fire Jimmy Kimmel and to cancel his show came from executives at ABC.”
Trump’s Role Denied
Leavitt insisted Trump had no involvement.
“I was with the President when this news broke in the United Kingdom…
he had no idea this was happening.”
Network Decisions
Disney confirmed the show’s indefinite suspension,
while Nexstar and Sinclair announced they would stop airing it.
