"My wife wants to go for dinner but I'd like to eat anything other than fish."

Strongly implies the wife in the sentence wants to eat fish.

Anyone with a moderate grasp of English understands what Kimmel was implying.

"Trying to characterize him as anything other than one of them". <- The implication is definitely that he's "one of them".

That isn't the same and you know it. Kimmel made no direct comment about what the shooter was aligned with, only about what the right wing sphere was attempting to frame them as being. Anyone with a moderate grasp of English should be able to tell the difference.
