Debate roundup: Trump vs. Kimmel in free speech clash

On Thursday President Donald Trump said ABC had “better” fire Jimmy Kimmel soon, in his latest broadside against the network and its popular late-night comedian.

Trump has railed against Kimmel for years, but this latest controversy began last week when Kimmel made a joke about First Lady Melania Trump looking like an “expectant widow.”

CNN’s NewsNight panels debated the fallout, focusing on free speech concerns and whether the FCC’s scrutiny of ABC could be seen as political retaliation.
