Mr. Kimmel faced some criticism for comments he made on Monday about the motives of the man who is accused of killing Mr. Kirk, the conservative activist.

I just read a Canadian CBC article that quoted this:

"In between the finger-pointing, there was, uh, grieving," said Kimmel.

"On Friday, the White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this," he said, before cutting to a clip where Trump responded to reporters asking about how he was doing by pointing to construction going on at the White House. "This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish."

which is marginally worse, but again, marginally. And all the FCC chief pointed to was what you quoted.
