Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet criticized comedian Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s reaction<\/a> to backlash over his comments on Charlie Kirk\u2019s killing, saying the late-night host offered excuses instead of the apology owed to the Kirk family and the country.<\/p>\n

“What we need is, \u2018I’m sorry, I lied, I was wrong, and I won’t do it again. And my apologies to the Kirk family and Erika Kirk,\u2019” Kolvet said on “America\u2019s Newsroom<\/a>” Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“When somebody like Jimmy Kimmel says that the shooter of Charlie was MAGA, what he’s really saying is that it’s OK to lie about conservatives, that their lives don’t matter, that his agenda, his political agenda and cultural agenda, is more important than the life of my friend who was just taken from us and robbed from us.“<\/i><\/p>\n

Kimmel was suspended for nearly a week after Disney and other broadcasters deemed his remarks insensitive following Kirk\u2019s killing earlier this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Sept. 15, days after Kirk\u2019s alleged killer was taken into custody, Kimmel said<\/a>: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”<\/p>\n

The suspension ended Tuesday, when Kimmel returned with a tearful statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man,” he said in part, adding that he did not mean to blame Trump supporters for the killing.<\/p>\n

Kolvet dismissed the remarks as insufficient.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Where was the, ‘I’m sorry,’ where was the contrition?” he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“All he had to do was say simply, ‘I am sorry, I won’t do it again, I will do better.’ Instead, he was defiant, he parsed his words, he tried to thread a needle and play both sides. And that’s not how we get healing in this country.”<\/p>\n

Kolvet argued Kimmel\u2019s emotion came more from fear of cancellation than from genuine remorse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“When people like Jimmy Kimmel skirt the truth, when they refuse to take accountability for their actions, then that sends a signal that there’s a whole institutional machinery apparatus that’s prepared to defend these evildoers. And that’s not OK.”<\/i><\/p>\n

During his Tuesday night monologue, Kimmel also noted he was “touched deeply” by Erika Kirk, Charlie\u2019s widow and new CEO of Turning Point USA, who publicly forgave her husband\u2019s alleged killer<\/a> during a memorial service in Arizona on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“If you believe in the teachings of Jesus, as I do, there it was. That\u2019s it. A selfless act of grace, forgiveness from a grieving widow. It touched me deeply, and I hope it touches many, and if there\u2019s anything we should take from this tragedy to carry forward, I hope it can be that,” Kimmel said.<\/p>\n

Kolvet said that if Kimmel wants to be forgiven for his insensitive statements, he needs to take responsibility for what he said.<\/p>\n

“I still want him to own it and be accountable to the audience, to the country, because it matters,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
