Walter Hudson comments on TPUSA event and criticizes Jimmy Kimmel's viewership and Disney

Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state legislator, posted several remarks on September 22, 2025, commenting on a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) event and expressing criticism toward television host Jimmy Kimmel and The Walt Disney Company.

In his first post of the evening, Hudson referenced an event at Northrup featuring Michael Knowles. He wrote, "Ready to rock with @elliottengenMN at the Northrup @TPUSA event featuring @michaeljknowles This is the turning point." (September 22, 2025).

Later that night, Hudson directed criticism toward late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. In a second post he stated, "I wonder if Kimmel will take the opportunity from his soap box to condemn the violence done in his name. Just kidding. We know he won't." (September 22, 2025).

Hudson continued with further commentary regarding Kimmel's audience numbers and Disney's business decisions: "The already pitiful viewership for Kimmel will be significantly less than before. And because Disney caved, they're just going to have to eat the cost indefinitely to appease a mob that wasn't watching to begin with." (September 22, 2025).

Turning Point USA is a conservative nonprofit organization known for hosting events across college campuses in the United States. Michael Knowles is recognized as a conservative commentator and frequent speaker at such gatherings. Jimmy Kimmel hosts "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on ABC, which is owned by The Walt Disney Company.
