Jimmy Kimmel’s Talking Points Reveal Democrats Are Now A Party Of Celebrity Surrogates

His lack of expertise and basic knowledge has been exposed by many outlets, but a question remains: why is Jimmy Kimmel the face of Democratic health care policy?

In the past few weeks a surprising figure has emerged as the face of the Democratic Party’s attempts to save Obamacare. Late-night comedy host Jimmy Kimmel, whose child required major surgery, is sticking it to the Republican Scrooges he claims would deny such life-saving surgery to kids who aren’t the progeny of wealthy celebrities. Kimmel’s lack of expertise and even basic knowledge of how health care works has been exposed by nearly every outlet on the Right, but a question remains: why is Jimmy Kimmel the face of Democratic health care policy?

Democrat politicians will no longer seriously discuss the major issues facing our country.

At the same time comedians, entertainers and others obediently parrot the Democrat talking points. In many cases, they are coached on exactly what to say.

Jimmy Kimmel is one example.

Demo-c-rats...

[beergarden]

if he’s so “oh so mighty” when it comes to health care, why doesn’t he at least sponsor 10 surgeries for these kids that he pretends to to be concerned about and put his money where his mouth is?

[rktman]

🐂💩. LYING celebrity surrogates. And again, too many people thinking because they are "stars" the have some special knowledge. NOT!

[ClearCase_guy]

Ann Coulter exposed this sort of thing years ago when it was a slight variation of the tactic —

The Democrats would trot out victims (like 9/11 widows) to push Democrat Talking Points. And you can’t argue with the policy arguments of 9/11 widows because ... well, what kind of monster would dare to disagree with a 9/11 widow???

But I think the “you can’t disagree with me; I’m a victim” technique has run it’s course.

Now it’s “who would ever disagree with this famous celebrity? Everybody just loves him! So you know he’s right about tax reform, health insurance, space exploration, whatever “

Weak-minded fools go for this.

I wouldn’t call them Surrogates. I’d use a much courser and foul word

Great article.

NOW??? Where has this guy been the last 50 years?

[Honorary Serb]

Comedians, actors, and journos are our enemies!!!!

[Robert357]

Which is why Al Frankin is in the Senate.

Seriously, anyone else remember Madonna promising blow jobs if you vote for Hillary? Celebrity Surrogates have done little to change elections.

Right now all the sports figures expounding on the virtues of disrespecting the National Anthem is just going to backfire on the Democrats.

[Radagast the Fool]

This is all bs anyway, because Kimmel’s son will be covered under Daddy’s class-A Blue Cross/Blue Shield policy issued by Daddy’s SAG/AFTRA union membership.

[CatOwner]

Sorosgates?

[YogicCowboy]

Celebrities are America’s surrogate royalty - to our great detriment.

I emphatically include celebrity Mega-Church preachers.

[YogicCowboy]

DemoKKKrats.

[DoughtyOne]

Very f f fitting! “:^)

[minnesota_bound]

Twitter also inserts talking points into accounts.
I bet the celebs are unaware for the most part as they have companies that handle Twitter accounts.

[Maverick68]

My garbage man is 1000 times more important than any actor/musician and I don’t listen to HIM for political advice.

Democrats no longer seriously discuss major issues. So comedians, entertainers, and
others, obediently parrot Democrat talking points.....coached on exactly what to say.

That's so true, detective. Remember Georgia?

Georgia. It was supposed to be the race that would give Democrats their groove back, a chance to claim blue turf inside red territory and signal the political perils of Trumpism in districts across the country. The Democratic Party's all-in approach to Jon Ossoff's candidacy backfired so badly that the big winner was the man who was the target of all the organizing energy on the left.

President Trump capped the night declaring outright victory not just in the Georgia election but for the slate of contests held in the Trump era. Ossoff became a vessel for national anger at Trump and a test case with implications far beyond a single House race.

Ossoff as a 30-year-old blank slate of a candidate with scant political experience who happened not to live in the district he was seeking to represent, gladly took Hollywood and Manhattan dollars without adopting fiery anti-Trump messaging or Bernie Sanders–style progressivism and campaigned as an even-keeled moderate. --SNIP--more on FR and at abcnews.go.com ...

=========================================================

Failed Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff received 7,218 private donations from California residents and only 808 donations from inside of Georgia’s sixth congressional district.

By contrast, Hillary Clinton had overwhelming support from California liberals. She earned $132,137,278 during the election against Trump, a full 22.49 percent of her campaign’s total fundraising haul. The presidential candidate ended up earning and spending nearly $1.2 billion in her fight against Trump. Perhaps not surprisingly, $49,224,731 to Georgia's Ossoff came from residents of the Los Angeles area.

===================================================

Mmm.....I guess Hollywood got confused. They are often confused.....no biggie. At the time, Morning Joe said Ossoff looked miscast as a Georgia candidate. Joe said Ossoff looked rather like an uncredited walk-on actor from "Reds" .....Beatty's Communist movie.

One of the braindead Black Caucus members said Ossoff was "another
JFK" that Ossoff projected that handsome, brash, virile, self-assured
masculinity reminiscent of JFK.

So Ossoff looked in the mirrrr and saw an amazing likeness. He started talking
w/ a New England accent, told people he lived in a "compound," and ordered
"Boston clam chowdah" in a Georgia Tea Room.

If only Ossoff's "Cuber policy" got more attention, he might have pulled it off.

Vote totals' depressing tale: Democrat Ossoff got fewer votes than a candidate who didnt even exist.

REPOST--Hollywood is the Left’s Propaganda Wing / FR Posted ‎5‎/‎27‎/‎2017‎ ‎by davikkm

Does watching a movie nowadays leave you with the feeling that you’ve just been preached to? Quite likely it’s because you have.

The whole Hollywood industry has abandoned its primary cause of entertainment and moved into the field of social conditioning. And the agenda is not in our interests; it’s in the interests of the big corporations and the liberal elites.

Consider Neill Blomkamp’s 2013 blockbuster "Elysium." The human race lives in two divided societies, one in the space station Elysium, where all is clean and diseases are miraculously cured, and the other on the poor, polluted planet Earth populated by the unfortunate (and mostly Spanish speaking) left-behinds. The film invites us to make the parallel between the US and Mexican border issues.

It is no surprise that the movie was released to coincide with an unprecedented rise in illegal immigration and new laws to make this acceptable. Senate Immigration Bill S.744 sought to provide amnesty for more than one million illegal aliens.

Also in 2013, lawmakers in 45 states and the District of Columbia enacted 184 laws and 253 resolutions all related to immigration with majority aiming to make life easier for those who entered the country illegally. (Excerpt) Read more at investmentwatchblog.com ...

==========================================

These so-called social justice movies exemplify the typical liberal/prog opportunism: They're obsessively virtue-signalling: "They're for their fellow man and hoping like hell to make a buck on it."
