Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, said she doesn’t want an apology from late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel for his remarks about her slain husband that got him booted from the air.
Kirk said Sinclair Broadcast Group, which operates dozens of ABC-affiliated stations across the country, approached her and asked if she wanted to appear on the 57-year-old comic’s show where he would apologize.
“I told them thank you, we received their note. This is not our issue. It’s not our mess,” she told Fox News’ Jesse Watters after he asked what she would say to Kimmel now.
“If you wanna say I’m sorry to someone who’s grieving, go right ahead. But if that’s not in your heart, then don’t do it. I don’t want it. I don’t need it,” she added.
Kimmel had claimed that Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, was likely affiliated with the “MAGA gang” during his Sept. 15 monologue.
“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 and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said during his show’s Monday monologue.
He was suspended by Disney and ripped off the air by Sinclair and Nextstar media — the two largest ABC station owners in the country.
Kimmel later offered a tearful, lukewarm apology after he was reinstated — but never actually uttered the word “sorry.”
