Jane Fonda free speech group to ABC: Resist Trump, keep Kimmel

A free speech organization, the Committee for the First Amendment, spearheaded by actress Jane Fonda, has publicly denounced President Donald Trump's call for ABC to dismiss late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. The group asserted that Kimmel's remarks about Melania Trump do not constitute a criminal offense. They emphasized that satire is a protected form of expression in the United States and urged ABC to resist pressure to fire Kimmel.

This situation highlights the ongoing tension between political pressure and freedom of speech, particularly concerning satire and commentary on public figures.
