Jimmy Kimmel Says ‘It’s Almost Necessary Now’ to Trash Trump: ‘I Don’t Think You Can Go too Far’
breitbart ^ | JEROME HUDSON

Posted on 03/04/2018 9:35:44 AM PST by davikkm

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel says he has no regrets about ripping President Donald Trump on a near-nightly basis even if it turns off countless conservative viewers. “A lot of people are going with this line of reasoning where they say, people in show business shouldn’t speak out about politics,” Jimmy Kimmel told in an interview with ABC News’ Paula Faris on Tuesday. “And yet … they elected Donald Trump the president of the United States. So I think that argument has pretty well jumped out the window.”

Most recently, the Live host has pushed political views like amnesty for illegal immigrants, gun control, and tax-payer subsidized healthcare — all while skewering President Trump and his supporters.

“I don’t think you can go too far,” Kimmel says of his politically charged rhetoric. “I’m still doing a comedy show and I need to be funny and entertain my audience, but I also think that we’ve matured enough … to the point where we can accept late-night talk show hosts speaking about a serious subject. And I think that it’s almost necessary now.”

“A lot of people are going with this line of reasoning where they say, people in show business shouldn’t speak out about politics,” “And yet … they elected Donald Trump the president of the United States. So I think that argument has pretty well jumped out the window.”

It sounds clever when you first hear it but the critical word he just skips over is “elected”. If we elected Jimmy Kimmel president we might want to hear his take on politics night after night after night without a break. But we didn’t. Someone hired him to be a comedian so he should perhaps try his hand at comedy on occasion. Everyone is entitled to his opinion but if they have nothing other than opinions they should start a blog or run for office.

I don’t watch him, but most normal people would disagree that he is “still doing a comedy show.”

“He Jimmy Kimmell’d it”

Meaning he took a perfectly good situation and drove it into the dirt. His mama must be so proud...

So many commoners in reality dislike an “outsider” in what they regard a position for rulers!

For the sake of comedy itself, Kimmel should’ve stuck with The Man Show.

Personally, I’ve had my fill of Jimmy “Pillsbury Doughboy” Kimmel.

You couldn’t pay me to watch any show in which this narcoleptic fool appears.

Trump is effective and liberals are doomed.

They are for illegal aliens who vote for democrats because fewer Americans want to.

“I don’t think you can go too far,”

That's because liddle kimmey doesn't actually think at all. He feels with his emotions so there is no limit to how depraved and disgusting he can be. Having a brain the size of a pea doesn't help either.

I wonder what he has in mind for his next job? He is pushing himself off television.

Can you imagine a late-night show (or the Oscars) hosted by, say, Ann Coulter?

In an alternate universe, Kimmel is the political equivalent.

Although Ann would be far more informative and entertaining.

I wonder if he will cry again.

After reading the ratings and reviews of the Oscars.

Nazis, that is all who these people really are. The Nazis trashed the Jews until they were almost all rested. Kimmel will not be happy until Trump and all Republicans are arrested
