We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return to the show on Tuesday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During his monologue on September 15th, Kimmel said that President Trump&#8217;s supporters were trying to \u201cscore political points\u201d by portraying Kirk\u2019s accused killer, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, as a left-wing radical, and suggested that Robinson was &#8220;one of them.\u201d<\/p><div id=\"morty-2550754625\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>His comments prompted Nexstar, which owns hundreds of TV stations across the country, to say it would preempt Kimmel\u2019s show on all of its affiliates.
