Republican National Committee senior adviser Danielle Alvarez told Newsmax that Democrats need to face up to the reality of why late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was indefinitely suspended by ABC after making comments about the killing of conservative leader Charlie Kirk.

There are conservative podcasters that get 10 to 20 million viewers per episode, and it doesn’t cost nearly that amount to produce those shows.”
“The media landscape is changing,” she added. “Nobody is interested in watching Jimmy Kimmel despite it being piped into our homes through network television.
