Kimmel’s show got yanked a week ago over shocking on-air remarks he made about MAGA supporters and Kirk’s murder.
“Disney and ABC caving and allowing Kimmel back on the air is not surprising, but it’s their mistake to make,” Kolvet tweeted minutes after the network revealed Kimmel would be returning.
“Nextstar and Sinclair do not have to make the same choice,” he said of the conglomerates that own a bunch of ABC affiliates.

Turning Point USA was co-founded by Kirk and his widow, Erika Kirk, is now the CEO of the organization.
