Joe Trippi - Trump Tried to Silence Kimmel. He Gave him a Megaphone Instead. [View all]

By trying to silence Jimmy Kimmel, Donald Trump and his ally, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr, did exactly the opposite of what they intended: They amplified him.

When they launched their campaign to force ABC to take Kimmel off the air for daring to speak freely, they weren’t just targeting a comedian — they were targeting the First Amendment.

And America noticed.

What Trump and Carr miscalculated — and miscalculated spectacularly — was the power of that moment. They sought to crush a voice. Instead, they created a megaphone.
