Jimmy Kimmel tells his audience more lies – Screencap of Twitter/X video.
Just after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, Jimmy Kimmel rushed to brand the alleged shooter as a MAGA right winger. Conservatives were outraged about this, first because it was a total lie and second because people on the right knew exactly what Kimmel was trying to do.
Well, Kimmel and his media supporters have succeeded. New polling suggests that a significant number of Americans now believe that the alleged assassin is a right winger.
The Media Research Center reports:
(EXCLUSIVE) Poll: Only 24% of Likely Voters Know Charlie Kirk’s Killer Was Left-Wing
ABC late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t suspended for very long for preposterously claiming that Charlie Kirk’s alleged murderer, Tyler Robinson, was a right-wing MAGA type. In the wake of Kirk’s killing, the media aggressively played dumb, claiming the motive was “elusive” and “complicated.”
Now we’re seeing the effects of the misleading coverage. According to a November 25 McLaughlin & Associates national poll of 1,000 likely voters conducted for the Media Research Center, less than a quarter of respondents correctly described Tyler Robinson, the man accused of murdering TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, as left-wing.
The poll asked participants the following question:
On September 10, 2025, Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk was murdered while speaking on a college campus. What was the political ideology of his killer?
Options for answers included: “left-wing,” “moderate,” “right-wing,” “no ideology,” “other,” and “don’t know.”
The plurality of respondents (27.5%) professed no knowledge of Robinson’s political ideology. Less than a quarter – 24.1 percent – identified him as left-wing, while 22.3 percent incorrectly asserted that he was right-wing. Another 13.2 percent claimed he was either moderate or a centrist.
The guys at Real Clear Politics recently discussed this:
A new report from the Media Research Center found that only about one-quarter of respondents correctly identified that Charlie Kirk’s accused killer, Tyler Robinson, expressed anti-conservative and anti-Christian motivations.
“It goes to show that the media’s effort to muddy the waters on the political motivations of Tyler Robinson worked. Three-quarters of people either had the wrong answer or didn’t know,” Tom Bevan said Thursday on the RCP podcast.
“The Jimmy Kimmels of the world, who were out there trying to confuse the public and say this was a MAGA guy, succeeded.”
“Even though substantial reporting suggested that while he grew up in a pro-Trump family, he had broken from that and developed his own left-wing political beliefs,” Bevan added. “He hated Charlie Kirk, hated what Charlie stood for, thought he was a hatemonger.”

There is a silver lining here. Because Tyler Robinson was captured alive, he is going to be put on trial. Once that starts, all of the pertinent information about him is going to be repeated on TV nightly. The media will not be able to spin that. They’ll try, but it won’t work.
