Emily, he didn't apologize because he didn't say anything wrong in the first place. He was correct when he said MAGA was desperate to paint the shooter as not one of their own, he never said that the shooter WAS MAGA, and he criticized Trump's callous reaction to Kirk's death.

Hearing her say for the public good was cringier than anything Kimmel has ever said. Do maga people ever pass by any mirrors?

I love how the public is holding a late night talk show host to a higher moral/truth-telling standard than Fox news or the President of the United States.🤷‍♀🤯
