That’s what happens when you capitulate to bullies, they will continue to take your lunch money again and again until you are left with nothing.

Also ABC refused to stand up for the 1st Amendment and Free Speech. I suspect Jimmy Kimmel’s days may be numbered. ABC and Disney will not defend Jimmy’s right to free speech.

Nothing but disrespect for ABC and Disney.
