Hollywood Can’t Shake its Elitism — Especially When it Comes to Free Speech

Jimmy Kimmel is a free speech warrior and a man of the people — well, some of the people. Earlier this week, the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host slammed new U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin as “unqualified” for a curious reason.

“Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber. “That’s right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now. It worked for Super Mario. Why not Markwayne?” Mullin, who until last week was a Senator from Oklahoma, took over the family plumbing business when his father became ill.

Kimmel couldn’t help himself. He’s been emboldened after a week-long suspension by ABC last year for incorrectly blaming MAGA for Charlie Kirk’s murder.

Jimmie KKKimmel did blackface. I wonder if he is so anti-Trump because if he backed off on the hate, the left would get him fired for the blackface?

We don’t need another “educated lawyer” like Majorkas.
We need someone who actually knows how to do things.

We just had two plumbers fix a problem that had kept us from using our sink, dishwasher, and washing machine for a week. I would have either of those two men as senators before a lot of them.

That probably makes him far more qualified than most profession democrat politicians.

The WORLD would look like Africa right now if not for plumbers. Plumbing has literally built civilization. There are few things that actually have and plumbing is at the top.

No one would even notice if a late night unfunny hack vanished from history. “We don’t need plumbers, water comes right here from this faucet.”

I bet the dumbarse doesn’t even know why they are called plumbers.
