On September 15, Jimmy Kimmel, in the opening monologue of his show, mentioned Charlie Kirk's death and Tyler Robinson, who has been charged with murder. Jimmy Kimmel stated, "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," he said. "In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving".
Following this, he showed the clips of US President Donald Trump's reply when he was asked about Kirk's death. Trump had replied, "I think very good, and by the way, right there where you see all the trucks, they just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House," Trump replied, adding the new ballroom at the White House will "be a beauty". Kimmel then said, "Yes, he's at the fourth stage of grief: construction".
