What We Have to Say About Jimmy Kimmel
Thank you for your petition. Your petition requested an apology from those
involved, and to "cut the show."
The parties involved have already apologized independently. Jimmy Kimmel has
apologized on-air, and issued a written apology. ABC has removed the skit
from future broadcasts, taken the clip down from online platforms, and
detailed several changes in its programming review process in response to
this incident. You can find more about Jimmy Kimmel's apology here, and ABC'
s apology here.
On a broader level, as the President has stated publicly, the United States
welcomes the continuing peaceful rise of China. The comments you are writing
about do not reflect mainstream views of China in the United States.
The Federal government cannot force ABC to remove this show. The First
Amendment of the Constitution protects free speech, even if individuals
might personally find it offensive or distasteful. It may be upsetting when
people say things we might personally disagree with, but the principle of
protected free speech is an important part of who we are as a nation.
If you think this issue merits additional scrutiny, you may file a complaint
with the Federal Communications Commission by visiting FCC.gov/Complaints.
The FCC is an independent agency that regulates the airwaves without input
or consideration from the White House.
Tell us what you think about this petition response and We the People. |
