Jimmy Kimmel ‘Apologizes’ for Using Son’s Medical Crisis to Score Political Points

Big Hollywood (Breitbart) ^ | May 9, 2017 | Jerome Hudson

[Tzimisce]

F*ck you Jimmy Kimmel.

You’re not on Obamacare!
You’re not being CRUSHED by the rising costs!
You’re not losing your business because of RED TAPE!

Screw you!

[mass55th]

But that’s what liberals do Jimmy. You never want a serious crisis to go to waste, especially if you can make political points with it.

[353FMG]

May his son have a long and healthy life.

when I was a kid we had to drink powdered milk because we couldn’t afford the liquid

Actually, Jimmy, powdered milk is more expensive than the real milk.

(Prayers that Kimmel's baby boy continues to do well.)

[SaveFerris]

Yes, typical TV liberal.

[“I’m sorry people realized my hidden intent”.]

And there you have it.

“I would like to apologize for saying that American tax-payers should be compelled, at the barrel of a gun, if necessary, to pay still more taxes... er, I mean "penalties" - so that children in America can have health care,” he went on, sarcastically. “It was insensitive. It was offensive, and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.”

His so called moral position is I EXIST, THEREFORE YOU OWE ME. Sorry. Not true.

That's good! Mind if I steal it?

Regards,

From wikipedia=>

Kimmel was born in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in the neighborhood of Mill Basin as the eldest of three children of Joan (née Iacono), a homemaker, and James John Kimmel, an IBM executive.

So the family of an IBM executive was so poor they couldn't afford liquid milk???

[Ken H]

His dad was an IBM executive. I’m skeptical of the powdered milk story.

[Bob434]

I read the headline and thought

“Oh that’s cool- maybe i judged the man too soon- Maybe He’s redeemed himself”-

but then i read the article and thought

“Nope- same old elitist jerk he’s always been- I shoulda known better”

[Dick Vomer]

He was so poor he drank powdered milk. Hahahahaha

Somebody tweet this BS. His dad was an IBM executive hahahahahaha.

He was so deprived. Oh my. What a fing loser

[FreedomStar3028]

Too late loser.

Nobody is going to forget you tossed your son on the political pyre. I don’t even have words to describe how disgusting I find this.

[proud American in Canada]

“Which, I have to say, I kind of appreciate because when I was a kid we had to drink powdered milk because we couldn’t afford the liquid … My dream was to become an out of touch Hollywood elitist, and I guess it came true.”

Perhaps someone could post a pic of the world's tiniest violin.

Worst "apology" ever.

Lots of us drank powdered milk, Jimmy.

I guess now you can afford the good stuff.

[Ken H]

He grew up in Mill Basin, Brooklyn.

Mill Basin is an affluent residential neighborhood in New York City in the southern portion of the borough of Brooklyn...

MOST of us that grew up on Powdered Milk and Free Government Cheese DID NOT grow up to be douchebags! We grew BEYOND our humble beginnings to go on to greater things than being a TV Leftist SpokesWhore. Just sayin’!

(P.S. I hope the baby ends up being OK. We can’t fault the baby for his parentage.)

Very well said, Diana. And you are right....Jimmy may be a Hollywood ... so and so ... but I certainly hope and pray that little baby makes it. An innocent soul... that is the real point of this. Jimmy just feels like he has to score political points, but most FReepers can see the big picture, which is the health of that tiny little one.

Thank you for the reminder, and God Bless.... :)

Of course!

In my experience powdered milk is more expensive than fresh liquid milk. I use it (only for cooking).

To produce it, they have to start with fresh milk, then incur additional processing costs.

A woman called into Mike Gallagher show yesterday. She told him she is from New York. She said the hospital Kimmel’s son was in, does not accept Obamacare insurance patients. Mike was going to check it out to see if indeed this was so.

Must have taken a week to get his meds straightened out...
