ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel returned to the air on Tuesday after his suspension resulting from a previous episode where he stated conservatives were “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.” As Kimmel addressed the matter, he omitted the prevalence of conspiracy theories on the left that led to conservative outrage at his comments.

Kimmel wrapped up his opening monologue by emotionally returning to Kirk and offered up some praise for Erika’s speech at Charlie’s memorial service, “There was a moment over the weekend, a very beautiful moment. I don't know if you saw this, on Sunday, Erika Kirk forgave the man who shot her husband. She forgave him. That is an example we should follow. If you believe in the teachings of Jesus, as I do, there it was. That's—that's it. A selfless act of grace, forgiveness from a grieving widow. It touched me deeply, and—I hope it—I hope it touches many, and if there's anything we should take from this tragedy to carry forward, I hope it can be that. Not this. So, thank you for listening, and I’ll have more to say when we come back.”
