Barack Obama weighs in on Jimmy Kimmel cancellation
Barack Obama has condemned the Trump administration for its actions in the lead-up to Disney’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night comedy show. “After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like,” the former president wrote in a post on X. The statement came about 15 hours after Disney announced it was suspending Kimmel.

Absolutely the worst two people to walk on this planet
Who cares?
Didn't the Obamas call Bob Igor and get Roseanne kicked off the air, tho????
When they came for Rosanne Barr I said nothing, when they came after Tucker Carlson I said nothing, when they came for Jimmy "what's his name" …
Please just GO AWAY, Obama, just GO AWAY.👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
Didn't Barack Hussein Obama call for the termination of Roseanne?
Obama is an idiot..why he needs to speak about anything at all…he is a has been cant he just live out his life in peace and enjoy the perks he got
Obama, you are no longer a hero now
Barry seems to have forgotten when all this chit started….. here's a refresh for him
Michelle Obama who explicitly called for Trump's permanent removal from social media platforms in a January 7 statement, urging companies like Twitter to "stop enabling this monstrous behavior" and implement policies against leaders using tech to incite violence.
Outright lies should not be allowed on public airwaves. This rhetoric feeds division like America has not seen since the Civil War.
2 pathetic clowns 🤡
OBUMMER 🤡🖕
Barack is a lot funnier than Jimmie.
Nobody cares about your opinion,
Nobody cares what Obama thinks anymore… Ancient history…
The man that caused the downfall.
OBAMA IS A TREASONOUS SCUMBAG! MILITARY TRIBUNALS COMING!
Why does Obama always feel like he must say something to criticize Trump every time something big happens. Obama was a smooth talker but a terrible president. I could care less what he says today about anything.
These two men have something in common. The exacerbation of division of the US population.
Obama go away. You were totally corrupt. Remember Rosanne Barr. You sir are irrelevant and a terrible president.
