Gad Saad on Jimmy Kimmel: ‘An Affront to Human Decency’

Author skewers late-night host for lying about Charlie Kirk's killer, motivation

The new king of late night had harsh words for a peer.

Greg Gutfeld raged against Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday, saying the ABC host was “done” for pinning Charlie Kirk’s death on a MAGA supporter.

It’s a lie, one we’ve known for days, but Kimmel peddled it anyway via his broadcast perch. The “Gutfeld!” host wasn’t pleased.

“I might have to watch Kimmel tonight to see what he has to say about this, because if he doesn’t address what he did, he’s done. I mean, this is a great case study, though, of cognitive dissonance. You know, how can such a smart, successful man be so wrong? How can he live in this kind of denial? It’s because he knows he’s wrong. And if you strip that away, what’s left? If you wrestle him away from this delusion that he’s stuck with for years about Trump supporters, about Trump, about Republicans in general, what’s left, what’s underneath that, the realization that you are the bad guy in the movie.”

Spoiler alert: Kimmel didn’t apologize.

That was almost kind compared to what Gad Saad shared about Kimmel.

The podcaster/author behind “The Parasitic Mind” blasted Kimmel via his X account. He called Kimmel “an affront to human decency.”

Kimmel, for what it’s worth, doubled down during his Tuesday night telecast, sharing a wobbly, five-year-old study blaming the Right for political violence.

Except that the matter may not go away. It could get much worse.

Podcaster Benny Johnson interviewed FCC Chairman Brendan Carr on Wednesday. Carr discussed Kimmel’s “truly sick” lie, suggesting the government could ultimately yank ABC’s broadcast license as a result.

“This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel, or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead … they have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest.”

Carr, who suggested Kimmel could be suspended or fired over the comments, explained the bigger picture behind the lie.

“The FCC could make a strong argument that this is sort of an intentional effort to mislead the American people about a very core fundamental fact, a very important matter,” Carr told Johnson.

Editor’s Note: It’s a brutal time to be an independent journalist, but it’s never been more necessary given the sorry state of the corporate press. If you’re enjoying Hollywood in Toto, I hope you’ll consider leaving a coin (or two) in our Tip Jar.
