The White House has lashed out at late-night host Jimmy Kimmel for claiming that the Federal Communications Commission “threatened” him, his show, ABC, and the network’s affiliates.
Kimmel on Thursday announced that he would not air an interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico, citing pressure from the Trump administration.
The FCC “has threatened me, threatened our show, threatened our network, ABC, our affiliates, our local stations, based on simple, traditional, editorial decisions, guest bookings it would seem they don’t like,” Kimmel said. “They’re very nervous about the midterms, and rightly so... They’re in danger of losing a Senate seat in Texas, of all places.”
