Rep. Smith statement on Kimmel

"Freedom of speech also applies to people you disagree with, President Trump.

"Trump's FCC Chair publicly assailed Jimmy Kimmel for expressing his beliefs in a late-night monologue -- and hours later ABC and Disney pulled Kimmel's show off the air indefinitely.

"No presidential administration should use their power to silence dissent and ABC and Disney should not have bent the knee.

"A free and independent press is a cornerstone of our democracy. This incident sets a horrific precedent for broadcasting in the United States."
