While Carr complained that Democrats interpreted his comments as a threat to Disney, he didn’t mention that his comments were also interpreted as a threat by several prominent Senate Republicans. Disney suspended Kimmel’s show last week after Carr said ABC affiliates could have licenses revoked for “news distortion,” but reinstated Kimmel yesterday after facing backlash from the public. Kimmel will be back on the air on many ABC-affiliated stations, but not those run by Nexstar and Sinclair, which have replaced Jimmy Kimmel Live! with news and other programming.

    When he said “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” there’s a reason why it sounded like a classic threat. Because it is.

    Lots of people are really stupid, but they aren’t so stupid that they don’t recognize this as a threat.

    Lies are part of a Nazi governments program. One could even call them a foundation of said government.

    Threatened them, bragged about it, then threatened others. What a slimy piece of shit.

    Another flip flopper trying to convince everyone that they are not a shitty person by lying. Its lying to us but to them its just making your own reality.

    Big talk when Trump is behind you. Small talk when he isn’t. These wafflers are the worst.
