Ex-MLB star cheers Disney's decision to yank Jimmy Kimmel off air: 'The tide is turning'

Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo discusses how ABC decided to pull 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' and highlights the British Royals' warm welcome to President Donald Trump on 'The Ingraham Angle.'

Former Cincinnati Reds star Zack Cozart on Wednesday cheered Disney’s decision to yank comedian Jimmy Kimmel off the air after controversial comments about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Disney confirmed to Fox News Digital that ABC’s "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was being pulled "indefinitely."

"The tide is turning," Cozart wrote on X, "keep the pedal to the metal."

On Monday, Kimmel accused conservatives of reaching "new lows" in trying to pin a left-wing ideology on 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson, even though prosecutors reaffirmed those ties in Tuesday’s indictment.

"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said.

Kimmel’s remarks immediately sparked backlash as they came one day after both FBI officials and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said that Robinson held a "leftist ideology" and was increasingly radicalized in recent years. It was also revealed that he had a romantic relationship with a transgender partner who was biologically male and transitioning to female.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr then issued a threat against Disney if it didn't address the controversy.
