Jimmy Kimmel called Florida "America's North Korea" during a recent broadcast of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC.
The comedian went after the Sunshine State, and particularly Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for the state's recently announced "python challenge," where participants win prizes for capturing large snakes in an effort to protect the Everglades wetlands.
"In America’s North Korea, the Sunshine State, from time to time, we enjoy taking a look at what’s going on, and tonight, we are doing it again in a Gov. DeSantis edition of 'This Week in Florida,'" Kimmel said before playing a clip of DeSantis announcing the challenge, prompting the comedian to joke that "all the prizes are pythons."
DeSantis praised the python challenge as instrumental in "protecting, restoring and preserving the Everglades for future generations."
"At my direction, the state has taken unprecedented steps to increase python removal, including hosting the Python Challenge annually, and expanding access for python hunters to 134,000 acres of state parks and the Big Cypress National Preserve," he continued. "As a result of our efforts, [Florida's Fish and Wildlife Commission] had a record year for python removal in 2020, and has now removed more than 13,000 pythons since 2000. I’m proud to be here today to kick off registration for another Python Challenge, and I look forward to seeing this year’s results."
The true idiots are his viewers. They find value in his rot?
I wonder if Kimmel realizes that Kalifornia, with its rolling blackouts, would look from space just like NK at times. You know, big dark patches in an otherwise sea of light.
The damage these pythons have caused is immense.
There should be open season on pythons 365 days a year with a small bounty, if there isn’t already.
Kimmel is a ignorant douchebag and we should send him a python just so he can see what we’re up against; A big 18 footer.................
At least Kimmel is getting paid, so I can understand why he says what he does, as long as someone is paying him to say it.
Yes, that douchebag...................
California, no water, severe draught, no forest management. Guess what their summer will look like. Maybe they should worry about their own state.
Also remember Kimmel was in trouble with the cancel brigade for him wearing blackface, so they’ve got him by the ‘nads.
Kimmel is America’s Borat.
Rd later.
In this lunatic’s mind, freedom equals North Korea while North Korean style bondage equals freedom. What’s even more amazing is that anyone watches him at all.
Now, a first hand report.
There is a cross Florida highway called the Tamiami Trail. It is more or less deserted on the southern side. It is sort of the northern boundry of wilderness and Everglades. In some places there is a canal. But in almost all places there is impenetrable vegetation. Even with open season, a hunter can't pass through the vegetation and find the pythons.
Jim please don’t come to Florida....we troll for gators with $hitbirds like you...bye
Comrade Kimmel !
Comrade is the title all conservatives should use when addressing all on the left.
Pound it home !
He's just following Disney's orders.
Partisan Media Shill alert.

Ron DeSantis has done an exceptional job in guiding his state trough the pandemic. He is being mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2024. If so, he has an outstanding record to run on. Because of this, the Democrats and their flunkies in the mainstream media are ramping up their attacks on DeSantis. They are in the beginning stages of a campaign to completely demonize him in the eyes of the American people. Look for these attacks to occur with more and more frequency in the months ahead. They know they cannot defeat him on the issues, so they will try their best to destroy his reputation and career. That what Democrats do.
Jim please don’t come to Florida....we troll for gators with $hit birds like you...bye
