YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show has been pulled off the air by ABC after the host made comments about the shooting of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk.
The host, 57, said the "MAGA gang" was trying to score political points from the right-wing influencer's shooting and compared Donald Trump's reaction to "how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish".
The president - who had openly criticised cancel culture in the past - had earlier called Kimmel's removal from TV "great news for America".
Matthew Wright is joined by Professor Aaqil Ahmed to analyse the topic of free speech and discuss why it's become a 'heated subject'.
