ABC pulled “Jimmy Kimmel Live” indefinitely following conservative outrage over Kimmel’s monologue about assassinated activist Charlie Kirk.
Approximately 150 demonstrators gathered outside Kimmel’s Hollywood studio protesting the suspension with signs opposing Trump and Disney.
The comedian also mocked Trump for turning a question about mourning Kirk into promotion for his new White House ballroom.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to rescind broadcast licenses for networks airing negative coverage throughout both his terms.
Major local broadcast owners Nexstar and Sinclair announced they would stop airing Kimmel’s show before ABC’s suspension decision.
Former President Barack Obama condemned the suspension as capitulation to unconstitutional government pressure.
Protesters at the Hollywood demonstration expressed concern about the country’s direction regarding free expression.
Others had criticised Kirk’s right-wing politics and derogatory comments about various minority groups.
