Jimmy Kimmel Admits Divisive Politics Have Cost Him ‘Commercially’
Breitbart ^ | March 13, 2018 | John Nolte

Posted on 03/13/2018 10:58:44 AM PDT by EdnaMode

Far-left late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who is currently one of the most polarizing and divisive personalities in the country, admitted he has seen polls that show that his partisanship “has cost me commercially.”

“According to polls I’ve seen, it has cost me commercially,” he told Oprah Winfrey in an interview for her O Magazine. “That’s not ideal, but I wouldn’t change anything I said.”

“I know my job is, for the most part, to entertain people and make them laugh. That said, if I can be selfish every once in a while and talk about something serious that’s important to me, then I do want to take that opportunity,” Kimmel added. “But I don’t want to abuse my position. I pick my battles. Ninety percent of the time, I’ll joke around, but some of the jokes, I hope, make people think.”

Judging from his comments on Obamacare, on this topic, #Gofundme is in the near future.

“He has socked away enough money that he doesn’t care.”

...not true. His ego will never allow him anything but “stardom”.

I don't think so.....these people spend it as fast as they make it. It is not uncommon for them to claim bankruptcy several times.

Hey Jimmy, you have no one to blame but yourself. You signed up to be Schumer’s pet poodle, now you’re finding out that most of us just don’t like yappy little dogs. Go to your crate, you’re getting snivel juice all over the place!

Conservatives like humor, and you can poke fun and mock our leaders all you want. Their problem is they are trying to pretend that vitriol spewing is comedy. I think I have a very diverse sense of humor (though I don’t think most understand it), I have heard well done comedy that roasted the living heck out of some of my heroes, that I found uproariously funny, but even as hard hitting as it was it was tasteful and didn’t just visibly drip of contempt, condescension, and just plain meanness.

Is this the clown who claimed Trump was going to prevent his ill son from getting medical treatment?

Yes that’s him. Even though he has private health insurance.

They do. They make me think. They make me think he's an imbecile.

He’s such a piece of crap for using his little son as a political pawn to begin with.

Who is genuinely interested in anything Jimmy Kimmel, other than for the news of his earned ruin?

We’re in a real dogfight here because it appears that the other side values political orthodoxy over going broke.

That's because we haven't driven them broke enough. Put them into poverty, and suddenly pissing off your customers will become an important issue to them.

He has socked away enough money that he doesn’t care.

If the shoe were on the other foot, and Kimmel was a conservative, the liberals would be filing lawsuits against him for using his forum to advance political candidates without filing the appropriate FEC paperwork about in kind contributions.

We should demand the FEC start fining him for meddling in national politics. His act is equivalent to monetary contributions, and the FEC limits how much money you can donate to candidates.

We need to be lawfaring these people.

Jimmy likes to think that. The reality is that he’s a boring, unimaginative, thoroughly banal host. He’d be losing in the ratings even if he didn’t say anything political. The politics is his way of justifying his failure, just like dozens of other stars do when they crash and burn.

Oh, I am sure the drama queen is vastly overpaid.

One has actual talent. Both are lib assclowns, though the talented one tried to hide it a little more until recently.
