No, Kimmel accused Trump supporters of publicly trying to distance themselves from the shooter.

Yes, but in the same breath Kimmel said the assassin was a MAGA supporter.
Kimmel's words:
"...the MAGA gang [was] desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them..."
The assassin may have indeed once been a MAGA supporter - his family certainly appear to be so. But political beliefs can change quickly as his history demostrates:
The assassin found true love in a transsexual roommate/lover.So overcome was he by his love for his transsexual roomie and so offended by MAGA supporter Charlie Kirk's objections to LGBTQ+, that he engraved LGBTQ+ graffiti on 30-06 ammo and shot Charlie Kirk in the neck with one of the bullets. He left the remaining bullets with the rifle IIRC.
Was the assassin a MAGA supporter at the moment he pulled the trigger? Beats me!
