Jimmy Kimmel plays free speech martyr over Talarico interview; leaves out one crucial detail

Jimmy Kimmel says something has changed since Donald Trump returned to the White House, but he can’t quite put his finger on it.

The late-night host took aim at the president again Wednesday, this time accusing the administration of using federal authority to interfere with his show’s editorial decisions.

‘I interviewed Donald Trump when he was running for president in 2015.’

“I’ve been interviewing Americans who are running for office with no problem at all,” Kimmel declared.

“I’ve interviewed a lot of political candidates from Hillary Clinton to Ted Cruz to Donald Trump himself. I interviewed Donald Trump when he was running for president in 2015.”

“But for some reason, and I can’t seem to figure out what that reason is, something has changed now that he is president,”
