While many on the left are tearfully applauding Jimmy Kimmel's return to the low-rated late-night airwaves, Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is getting mocked and ridiculed for her histrionic response.

Warren suggested that communications companies had kowtowed to the demands of the Trump administration in order to secure government approval for their business deals and called for an investigation into the matter.

'Kimmel is back, but many Americans won’t be able to watch. ... I’m pressing for answers on potential corruption.'

"Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval," Warren posted after Kimmel was suspended. "Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism."

The Disney corporation, which is also the parent company of ABC Television, announced Monday that Kimmel's show would return the next evening. Two owners of ABC affiliates, Sinclair and Nexstar, said their stations would continue pre-empting the show.

Warren accused them of "possible corruption."

"Kimmel is back, but many Americans won’t be able to watch," she wrote. "Two companies — Nexstar and Sinclair — control hundreds of local TV stations and have business deals pending Donald Trump’s approval. They won’t air Kimmel tonight. I’m pressing for answers on potential corruption."

Warren was mocked and ridiculed by many on the right on social media.

"Senator Warren working on the important issues … like why some TV stations are not airing Jimmy Kimmel’s terrible show no one was watching. She’s investigating!" joked the DuPage County Republican Party.

"You people are unbelievable. Not only are we supposed to just accept that he has a constitutional right to a multi-million-dollar a year job starring in a bad TV show that no one watches, now TV operators are also obligated to surrender their discretion to air his show, too?" replied Rafael Mangual of the Manhattan Institute.

"Why? Does the government have a right to tell people what to air on their stations?" replied author Kate Cornell.

"Stifle it, you raging harridan. You didn’t so much as offer a peep of complaint when the Biden Administration was forcing social media companies to de-platform citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights," responded another detractor.

"Trump never censored Jimmy Kimmel. It was a business decision by Disney and ABC affiliates. Stop lying to the American public like you did about your race," read another response.

The president has threatened to sue ABC over its agreeing to return Kimmel to his show.

"I think we're going to test ABC out on this. Let's see how we do," he wrote.

"A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings."
