Jimmy Kimmel on Friday opened his ABC show by addressing the latest school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, which left 10 dead and 10 others wounded. But unlike his previous monologues that addressed the Las Vegas and Parkland massacres, the late-night host eschewed sadness for anger as he berated the “cowardly” politicans who continue to sit idly by and do nothing.
“Before we get to our guests and jokes tonight, I want to take a moment because, as you know, we had another school shooting today,” Kimmel began. “And once again, most of our leaders are sending their thoughts and prayers. President Trump said he is with the people of Santa Fe in this tragic hour and will be with them forever — except for when it comes time to do something, then he will not be with them, and neither will any of the congresspeople or governors who don’t ever do anything because they’re fearful that it will hurt them politically.
“They know the truth,” he continued. “They know this has gone too far, but they’re too cowardly to do the right thing. They care more about the support of the NRA than they do about children. So they sit there, with their hands in their pockets — pockets that are full of gun money — and they do nothing. They just wait for the outrage to pass, because it didn’t happen to their children.”
Kimmel then suggested that “the only way we can make any meaningful impact on this epidemic is to make sure we vote for politicans who will do something,” and encouraged anyone who hasn’t already to register to vote. He then queued up a montage that cut between clips of Santa Fe High School students describing watching their friends getting shot, with politicans like Trump, VP Mike Pence and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz promising to protect the Second Amendment.
I think it’s time to pull the licenses from broadcasters who don’t promote positive views. This kind of blind hate speech that Kimmel spews only games public discourse and he needs to be banned.
Right Kimmel?
You know the truth.
Says the guy who sticks a banana in his pants and pays women to touch it and guess what it is.
Good point. When will the elites give up their armed guards? Aren’t all guns just intrinsicly evil?
...the “cowardly” politicians ....
Nothing politicians can do. We need leadership in the family, embracing faith and morals, and rediscovering American culture.
Says Chuck Scmuckey’s remote anus.
Make that a loud crying intellectual infant.
Kimmel has armed guards doesn’t he? ABC values this idiot more than schools.
You got where you are because you worked hard and more than likely ate some meals we can't speak about here, and you should at least recognize there's nothing you can do about the guy raping your wife at home and burning your house down while you're at the studio mouthing off about some else's short comings.
GFY !
Or you would have been hiding in the little girls' room bawling like a child.
““They know the truth,” he continued. “They know this has gone too far, but they’re too cowardly to do the right thing. “
So tell us “Jimmy,” just what is the “right thing to do?” The problem is that the “right thing” for you, is the wrong thing for America. The “real right thing,” would involve getting parents to properly raise their children and for school and LEO personnel to do their jobs. All this “happy horse $hit about “diverting criminal students” from being addressed through the justice system is where the “real problem lies.
Never...Not once...has a gun ever been charged or convicted of murder...
Camera Hogg & Co. will probably be Kimmel’s guest on Monday night...
I was going to attack Kimmy’s masculinity but that wouldn’t be fair to the great self sufficient woman out there.
Kimmel is an older “David Hogg”, stalled at permanent pre-puberty.
Courageous Jimmy, looking forward to the next school shooting. What’s not to laugh at?
