It was well known before Kimmel made his comments that the shooter was in a romantic relationship with a trans woman. Having said that, even if he did not know about that relationship it was irresponsible of Kimmel to repeat rumors he could not have known were true that the shooter was maga.

Except your premise is incorrect.

Kimmel did not repeat rumors, he asserted that the political affiliations were unknown.

edit: He asserted the "MAGA gang" trying to distance themselves from Mr. Robinson, which is true. It does not mean Kimmel views Robinson as "MAGA".

Exactly, it wasn't even a joke; it's a fact.

MAGA is trying to distance themselves from the killer, and so is the left. No one wants to be associated with that guy, and for good reason.

He did not assert they were unknown: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” Kimmel said in his Sept. 15 monologue.

Caitlyn Jenner is a trump supporter fwiw. Trans is not incompatible with conservatism despite the cognitive dissonance required to take such a stance.

You don’t think trans people or their friends can be republican / conservative?
