BC's Jimmy Kimmel is once again using his show as a political platform, encouraging his audience to vote out of office Republicans donate money to EveryTown.org, a gun control group seeking to "end gun violence in America."
The host aimed his most pointed criticism at President Trump, saying, "You're obviously mentally ill."
"You’ve literally done nothing," on guns, Kimmel complained. "Actually, you’ve done worse than nothing. You like to say this is a mental health issue. One of your very first acts as president, Mr. Trump, was to roll back the regulations that were designed to keep firearms out of the hands of mentally ill. You did that. Your party voted to repeal the mandates on coverage for mental health. So I agree, this is a mental illness issue, because if you don’t think we need to do something about it, you’re obviously mentally ill."
Kimmel also blasted Republicans more generally, calling them "allegedly Christian."
"Tell these congressmen and lobbyists who infest that swamp you said you were going to drain, force these allegedly Christian men and women who stuff their pockets with money from the NRA year after year after year to do something," Kimmel said. "Now, not later. Now. And don’t you dare let anyone say it’s too soon to be talking about it, because you said it after Vegas, you said it after Sandy Hook, you say that after every one of these eight now fatal school shootings we had in this country this year. Children are being murdered."
Kimmel said he's not going to allow grieving politicians to focus on prayer.
"Eight out of 10 Americans agree that a teenager shouldn’t have an AR-15," he said. "So why does a teenager legally have an AR-15? Somewhere along the line, these guys forgot they work for us, not the NRA. Us. And this time we’re not going to allow you to bow your head in prayer for two weeks."
Watch Kimmel's monologue above.
crocodile tears.
Any guy who publicly cries as much as Kimmel does should probably not talk a lot about mental illness.
You brute!
;)
I gave it up in 1997. When I see it today it’s kinda stupid.
We’ve tried to watch some of the new shows free on Amazon prime, but our rule has killed them all: As soon as a homosexual character enters the picture, we’re done.
Saves us a lot of time and allows us to get a lot done. :)
How did our founding fathers know that someday there would be a compromised DOJ and FBI thus requiring a second amendment.? They certainly didn’t have hunting in mind when they wrote it.
Tearful Jimmy Kimmel Pops off on Trump: ‘You’re Obviously Mentally Ill’
Another legend in his own mind.
Ahhhhh, a soft-pron comedian is now an expert on social psychology.
Excuse me while I ...... click.
I guess YOU are mentally ill Jimmy because you are surrounded by ARMED GUARDS..tell them to DISARM
Yeah apparently Jimmy thinks Sandy Hook happened during Trump’s Presidency..Sandy Hook, Aurora, Pulse Nightclub, ALL happened during Obama’s Presidency..never saw Jimmy cry
Everything Sarah Silverman touches turns to crap.
Mr. niteowl77
It is impossible to genocide whitey until they have been properly disarmed
Millenials present a clear and present danger to the Republic. Totally brainwashed by pop culture, publik skrools, universities and social media

Millennials are a lot more sophisticated than a lot of the stereotypes that they are getting, and I personally have found that they are they not only tend toward libertarian side of things but also have a healthy cynicism for anything establishment.
Doncha just LOVE a Jew calling us “so called Christians”!
...AND... I didn’t even watch the spot/vid, but I agree with the sentiment that anyone that gets on air and cries in what is obviously political opportunism should probably be made aware of the irony of casting dispersions about someone else’s mental health.
When this asshole Kimmel comes out agains the murder of innocent babies maybe I’ll tune in..but that will never happen.He is a hypocrite and does not speak for me as a Christian
Well, Jimmy, ONE of you is mentally ill, but it prolly isn’t Trump.
Me, too.
And Kimmel is allegedly a "devout Catholic."
To the left, a slingshot is a weapon of war.
