Jimmy Kimmel's 19 minute anti-Trump rant backfires with viewers

Jimmy Kimmel's attempt to sway Republicans with a 19 minute anti-Trump monologue has backfired with viewers.

The talk show host delivered a special plea to those thinking of voting for the former president, in which he promised to avoid, 'liberal virtue signaling'.

But the almost 20 minute rant ended up irritating some viewers so much they pledged to vote Trump anyway, just to spite Kimmel.

The comedian used clips from the former president's speeches, interviews and rallies to try and illustrate several aspects he believes make Trump unfit to lead.

'Am I biased against Donald Trump? Yes,' Kimmel admitted. 'Do I think I have good reasons for being biased against him? Yes.

'And I'm probably wrong, but I think when you hear some of those reasons, you might agree with me, even just a little bit.'

However, many viewers were left alienated by Kimmel's sermonizing, with some even suggesting they were now voting Trump to spite him.

'I was on the fence, but since Hollywood elites like Jimmy Kimmel are supporting Harris, I’ll cast a vote for Trump,' one person wrote.

'Kimmel fell off and has gone woke,' another added.

''Remember when Johnny Carson and Jay Leno were hosts and it was all about class and entertainment? Jimmy is a clown,' one person wrote.

'All this MF does is every flipping night! Rip off on Trump. Do you have any other material? Yikes. Switch channels,' one viewer fumed.

The segment saw Kimmel attack Trump over his 'concepts of a plan' for healthcare, his obsession with transgender children and his Chinese-made 'God Bless the USA' Bible.

'Now those Bibles weren't even made in the USA they were made in China,' Kimmel joked. 'That's how tough he is on China, he forces them to make his Bibles for him.'

"When you can’t laugh at yourself everyone else will laugh AT YOU. Greg Gutfield now owns late night, they severed it up to him on a silver platter."

Yup. Gutfeld is THE funny late night show. He claims his ratings are more than all of the unfunny preaching hosts combined. He has a regular named Tyrus who is the wittiest, intelligent, articulate, self-effacing black man ever. My Wife and I just love Tyrus. Gutfeld also has the best guests who are on par with Tyrus.

There are many black men I so admire, such as; Ben Carson, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, and others. Yet, because I'm an old conservative white guy, I'm a deplorable nazi racist sexist according to the Dim/Socialists/Commies.

Someone explain to me how these awful people wake up in the morning with such hate in their minds for anything not of their sick values. What a depressing dreary dismal life they must have.

Why is this not covered by the Federal Election Laws as a campaign contribution?
19 minutes of airtime must be worth a pretty penny...................

We think alike. If I was Trump I'd demand 19 minutes of equal time on Kimmel's show, prior to the election.
Note: I didn't say Kimmel could have Trump as a guest on his show for 19 minutes --- I wouldn't give him that kind of control. Maybe some of the worst Man Show reruns he can find?

I’ve always thought Jimmy was a sleazeball. Now, I just think he’s even *more* of a sleazeball.

If this were going to be a moderately honest election, Trump would win by a landslide.

But the Democrats have no intentions of letting this be a moderately honest election. They are as desperate as a wounded animal...as just as dangerous.

A very upbeat show, like Ferguson’s night show.

Kimmel isn’t a comedian in any way he’s just another propaganda agent for the communist democrats selling social utopia.

Since no one already planning to vote for Trump would be watching the show, if his rant caused some viewers to decide to vote for Trump, it’s all good.

At least Bernie Sanders is capable of making an argument. He's a communist. But at least he'll admit to it.

Jimmy Kimmel will just cry because Donald Trump is using mean tweets.
