In a spicy drama straight from Washington D.C.ās Circus Tent, a late-night comic found themselves suspended last week after making a joke comment involving Charlie Kirkās 'killing.' The pressure cooker? None other than the Trump administration, apparently moonlighting as a sensitivity squad. No names given for the comic, but the punchline that's pushing paused careers involves a political firestarter, Charlie Kirk, whose name alone apparently triggered a suspension faster than a tweet from the former president. This episode is a 2024 reminder that satire about contemporary political figures has a shorter fuse than a firecracker in a flamethrower factory.
