Jimmy Kimmel: Florida is 'America's North Korea'
Washington Examiner ^ | June 6, 2021 | Carly Roman

Posted on 06/07/2021 5:38:50 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

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."

Jimmy Kimmel thinks he is “60 Minutes” now?
Only in America will such an ignorant, totally stupid fool have his own TV program.

Kimmel is a dork and a bitchy evangelist for beta males everywhere.

I watched this on youtube. It wasn’t funny and no one was laughing. It was more like a nonsensical deadpan monologue with a Desantis clip opening the hunt.

They should just replace Kimmel with CCP news commentary. The audience wouldn’t notice.

There is an office in the bowls of the deep state where all narratives are created.

There is a server where anyone with an audience goes to pick up their script with instructions on where the microphones and cameras will be waiting.

Kimmel bought a lodge in Idaho. He’s escaping Kalifornia too.

Kimmel is a textbook example of the ignorance and arrogance of the so-called elites. It'd be a lot of fun to wipe that smirk right off his face; wouldn't take more than about 30 seconds.

Walk on that fat windbag like a rug.

I was in Florida last month, Tampa Bay area. I can tell that most of the people down there love Gov. DeSantis. I was walking around the streets of Dunedin one night and saw the Governor and his kids out at a local ice cream shop. He was in Dunedin to throw out the first pitch at a Little League championship baseball game. He is a no-nonsense kind of guy and does what needs to be done.

A little pusscake like Kimmel wouldn’t have the first understanding of the need to eradicate the python population from the Everglades, from his oh-so-tastefully decorated condo in the city.

That and the fact that the FL Gov is leading instead of hiding is why its open season on him.
CA has lost the battle on Covid lockdown and they want it back.

DeSantis is the next Trump when it comes to media attacks.

Putting a bounty on an invasive or overpopulated pest species has been a common practice for over a century. (Or centuries). What’s his problem?

Mr. Mojo :" Jimmy Kimmel called Florida "America's North Korea" during a recent broadcast of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC."

Jimmy Kimmel, and the other horses asses on TV late night is one of the reasons why I neve watch late night TV.
They are propagandists, and they aren't funny,.. nor are they entertaining.
At 10:00 P.M. I turn to Johnny Carson reruns who is improvisational, witty, funny, entertaining, and has interesting guests from years gone bye, on Antenna TV.
Jimmy Kimmel and the rest of the late night trolls, are none of the above (!), and are a putrid waste of electrons and electricity.
